You remind me of an Irish colleague I once had. He designed software and his designs were not the most effective ones, but I had to peer review them. It was a joy to read: starting left top corner to right bottom corner and it felt like reading an early twentieth century novelle.
He refused to drink Guinness outside of Ireland.
Bit highbrow for me John!
I love it how some have tried to open those http addresses.
In the immortal words of Catherine Tate………”Am I bothered” 
@Sloop_John_B whatever you do don’t try to open http://IP/pandorasbox. I did and it took me to murky world of sharp treble and muddy bass.
It’s getting increasingly upsetting and annoying for me at Naim’s total silence about my ambivalence.
Surely it’s not too much to ask for at least a small press release to deal with ambivalence and equivocation wrt the latest firmware. Instead just silence.
I’m seriously thinking of moving on from Naim to dCS as at least they are likely to send a strongly worded solicitor’s letter in relation to any equivocation.

A lovely approach to the topic… 
Can you be apathetically ambivalent?
Even though I’m unsure whether I’m ambivalent or happy with the update I’d like to say this is by far the best thread about the recent firmware update, I think.
I’ve just installed the latest firmware 3.3.666.
Can’t be bothered to listen to it yet though.
Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow . Maybe for the rest of my life.

SJB, I couldn’t care less that you haven’t tried the new FW yet.
(Possibly flogging a dead horse here).
My ambivolence is turning to boredom. Can we have a new thread “Bored with reading about the new Naim update”?
I’ll get my coat.
Now the green screen streamer update is out, I have to get off the fence and join one side or the other. I just am not sure which way to go.
@Blackbird
Have you done the update to 4.9? Come on… ;0). Lucky you can go back. Give it a try.
I just have and my NDS still sounds as good if not better than before.
I may be imagining things but I think it sounds a little cleaner to me with potentially more detail coming through. The lovely smoothness is still there, not finding anything negative yet.
It’s easy to roll back to 4.8 so there’s little risk in trying it.
Internet radio has an issue for me on BBC radio only, I’ve posted on another thread regarding this.
Even if there is a chance to roll back I am extremely careful now. You might know why 
I do not listen to radio - so nothing missing here.
Cleaner with more detail was the first impression with nd555 as well … but this was only the very first impression.
Am going to go with ‘Happy With the New Update’. My NDX is a 2014 model and am genuinely impressed that it is still being supported to some degree. Can’t think that is the case for many digital products!
I would just like to report that after updating to firmware 4.9 on the N272 that my opinion of the firmware update remains indifferent.
I have updated my NDX 1 yesterday and my first impression is: I like what I hear (via audirvana). I believe the presentation has improved a little in all areas. No harshness at all but a bit more of everything in a positive way (is there more soundstage behind the speakers now?). I’m not realyy sure, so I’m looking forward to read your opinions.
