I have removed some posts that I felt are overly combative.
I would like to remind all beta testers of the rules;
Members who are part of the Naim Beta group and who have access to the Beta forum should not discuss or divulge or share information on the public forums or elsewhere about anything in Beta testing.
And would ask all members to please respect the fact that the beta testers are providing a really valuable service to Naim, the forum, and Naim end users. They cannot divulge information regarding any ongoing beta test, so please refrain from asking them, or demanding answers on anything regarding the beta testing. I will not tolerate any beta tester being pilloried on the forum for the service they give for all.
FWIW, whatever the firmware or software might be now, there is almost always a newer update in development or in beta - that is the nature of it, so any further speculation on the next release is really pointless right now. There are all sorts of hoops that have to be jumped through and often things need to be added or amended even quite late on that adds time for further development, additions, amendments, then further testing, then sometimes approvals from 3rd parties, then beta testing, and finally listening. Hence why giving ETAs on releases is impossible.
On that basis, I’m going to close this thread for the time being. If members wish to open a new one when the next FW is released then that’s fine by me.
