Hi there, I was also on 2.8 (CX) and I had only one Update Process started by Mark, that was very fast Max 10 minutes

Does anyone know when Roon updates start to go live…is it 12.00pm EST? This update is one I am keen on.
Roon update to my EX went perfectly. Tidal and Qobuz loading seems faster.

I began the 3 stage update process on my CX from 2.7 but I’m currently stuck here at 2.8:
Any suggestions?
The Roon update has been successfully installed on my K30 running AMS 3.1. Seems fine but I haven’t done much with it yet.

Definite performance improvements here

Also here updated to latest Roon version on my EX. Clearly improved performance 
.
Having had chance to sit & listen further, my system is definitely sounding the best it ever has. I’m currently running in a demo AES/EBU cable & despite that, it was already sounding incredible. However, it does seem to have had a further little lift today, by comparison to when I was listening late last night.
Updated Roon today and maybe I can hear an SQ improvement too even if I only use the S40 as a server. A bit more details coming through.
What do you other say ?
@MarkCole I will update my Roon core later today. When you mention ‘performance improvements’ do you mean speed of response etc with the interface or do you mean sound quality improvement?
@Magnuska , with the SQ improvement can I ask what player you were using with Roon? Was it Roon being used as a player/endpoint or are you using something else such as a player like as Squeezelite or HQP?
I will report back myself after I have tried the new Roon.
I thought I heard a sound improvement on the 3.1 upgrade. It sounds very very good.
Another peculiarity is that I think my K50’s SQ improves after 10/15 minutes of playing- awesome to awesomer. It’s the kind of thing one wouldn’t want to own up to noticing as it seems a silly idea. Anyway, I’m shameless…
Roon performance update, I expect its more efficient. As SQ is still a little mysterious I wouldn’t be surprised by an improvement, I doubt they’d ever claim that though, start a row…
Yes I think its best for you to discover for yourself if there is any improvement for you. If you have a K30 K50 with both server and player Linux and use Roon there is a bigger possibility it should be an improvement in Sq. Sometimes you know its easy to mistake different sounding as better sounding
I use s40 as server and Lucas domansky server (windows) as player.
Do not rely on the GUI reboot, try a full physical manual restart of the unit to force the next stage update.
This is what I had to do otherwise it was stuck in the same loop you are seeing.
Thanks. I tried a complete power down followed by a cold boot. I’m afraid I’m still stuck at 2.8. I’ve scheduled a 1:1 support call for later today.

I installed Anydesk, set the appropriate permissions on MacOS and scheduled a 1:1 with the desk number included. That should do it, correct?

Good luck, Im sure Mark will sort it out for you!
