Davaar Release Notes For help on how to upgrade your DS firmware, please see How to Upgrade DS Software

NOTE: Each Davaar release is NOT necessarily for all products. Some releases may be changes for specific products only.

Davaar 108 Build 550 (4.108.550) Released on 19 Nov 2024Click to view more..

  • Added AirPlay 2 support for Selekt DSM (all devices that previously did not support Airplay 2), Series 3 and Kustom DSM
  • Fixed device hang while entering standby from Roon
  • Fixed #7865: Intermittent pops/clicks at start of SPDIF/TOS streams that affect a subset of Majik products
  • Fixed #8684: Unexpected crash when Urika II Exakt devices are present
  • AirPlay 2 stability improvements
  • Fix for loss of network connectivity following a power glitch
  • Fix for loss of network connectivity after several hundred control point restarts
  • DSM's with eARC HDMI 2.0 board: fix for occasional crash when eARC source unstable
  • DSM's with Surround Module: disabled DD 2.0 up-mixing in Decode Mode Auto due to issues switching streams
  • Removed IPv6 configuration option from products that previously offered it
  • NOTE: Also includes fixes from Davaar 107 for Selekt Classik devices (PCAS 973 and PCAS 1110)

Davaar 107 Build 544 (4.107.544) Released on 03 June 2024Click to view more..

  • Stability improvements when streaming via TIDAL over AirPlay

  • Fixed resource leak causing devices with Roon support to crash/hang
  • Added support for Exakt diagnostics.
  • Improved robustness of Exakt update process.
  • CI gateway: Improvements for Kustom discovery (4.1.55)
