Eunhasu V0.5.6 Alpha version

/in , , /by

Greetings!

Eunhasu firmware version number 0.5.6 is ready on our alpha server.

 

Version : V0.5.6
– Date : 03-15-2024
– Add the network tune at a time when enabled the CPU latency tune.
– Adjust the none audio Eunhasu process service priority down.
– Update the MPD config page.
– Remove the buffer settings & set 100MB by default.
– Remove the buffer before play & Period time.
– Add the & cache buffer size 1GB.
– Update the Eunhasu service code

 

And the MPD V0.23.15 and UPMPDCLI v1.8.9 have also been updated.

To reflect the above, the beta server should be enabled first and then, remove the MPD/DLNA function and reinstall it in the MPD&DLNA config page.
After this update, you must change any value or content on the MPD/DLNA config page and be sure to save the settings.

In the MPD function, the buffer setting part has been removed, so if you experience a noise problem that can be adjusted with the buffer value, please report it.

We are also considering ways to make it usable again as before.

 

The proper test environment should be Eunhasu V. 0.5.6(alpha server) and the kernel V.6.1.60-212 and also upgrade thge mpd(beta server) and test it.

 

Additionally, there have been a function to return it to DHCP if you set Eunhasu’s IP to Static but cannot remember the IP address.
In this case, “connect to the LAN port to the device by a lan cable, reboot, disconnect the LAN cable, wait 15 minutes, and reconnect the LAN cable” was the process to return to DHCP from static IP, but it has been changed to wait within 5 minutes after rebooting for the first time.

 

For the alpha server testing, please access to the alpha server by following url, http://<your Eunhasu ip address>/upgrade.php?upgrade_server=alpha

Once done upgrading to the alpha server, then, reboot the device and you are ready to test.

 

After upgrading to the alpha version(0.5.6), please go to the beta server by following the instruction,

1. Access to http://<your Eunhasu ip address>/beta.php, and enable the “beta server”, click “Save changes” button to be applied correctly.

2. Click the Kernel check button(Update the kernel version no.) in the system update page and check the kernel version no. is updated to the 6.1.60-212.

3. Test it.(if you would like to test MPD, go to the MPD&DLNA config page to remove and reinstall the MPD/DLNA feature, and then apply any values newly to the MPD&DLNA config page and save the change.)

4. And disable the beta server after done testing. (Access to http://<ip address>/beta.php and disable the beta server)

 

Thank you!

Greetings,

SOtM is having a holiday from 9th -12th, Feb to celebrate Lunar New Year.

SOtM would not respond promptly during this period and will be back to work normally on 23th Feb.

Again, happy new year !!

 

About CPU frequency function on the sMS-200 and sMS-200ultra

/in , , /by

We’ve tested it with the following settings,
– Set Network speed 1Gbps(when set the Network speed 100Mbps, it had an issue, so it should be tested with 1Gbs.)
– Enabled the latency tune
– Used Roon ready. (When used the app such as required faster processing like LMS, MinimServer, BubbleUPnP Server, it requires high frequency. When used the app such as Roon ready, MPD, HQplayer, Shairport, LibreSpot, Squeezelite(not LMS) , they would work with this setting environment. .
– And the kernel version no. is 6.1.60-211(it’s currently in our beta server)

Result.
– The unit works upto 312Mhz, it becomes slow, but no problems for operations and playback.
– But the frequency set below 312Mhz, the unit itself became slower so even accessing to the web gui is difficult. There is 144Mhz set available when set below 312Mhz CPU frequency, but this 144Mhz selection has an issue such as when trying to accessing to the Web gui or doing other tasks while playing music, it’s impossible to do it, so 144Mhz set option will be removed in the next upgrade.

Conclusion.
– When tested with 312MHz, we can achieve the best sound quality. Compared to the default setting, we can proudly say the sound upgrade with CPU frequency settings is more than twice. Considering the price of the product, it was good enough before, but if you set up CPU FREQUECY, then I would say it is the best value for money.

 

Updated on 1st, Feb,2024

By following multiple user’s feedback, when used MPD/DLNA function, 528Mhz frequency is recommended rather than using 312MHz. 312Mhz selection can bring abnormal functional issues to the device.

 

Updated on 16st, Feb,2024

By following multiple user’s feedback, when used HQplayer NAA function, 528Mhz frequency is recommended rather than using 312MHz. 312Mhz selection can bring abnormal functional issues to the device.

 

Thank you!

HQplayer NAA version no. in the sMS-1000SQ Eunhasu

/in , , /by

Greetings!

 

Please be advised that when using the HQplayer NAA function on the sMS-1000SQ Eunhasu, 4.4.0 version no. is supported as the final one. Please understand that this is the final version number provided by Signalist for the sMS-1000SQ Eunhasu product and it is only applied when using the sMS-1000SQ Eunhasu product.

 

Thank you

Updated Eunhasu firmware version no. 0.5.5

/in , , /by

Greetings!

 

Eunhasu firmware version number 0.5.51 is released officially.

 

Version: V0.5.5
– Date: 11-24-2023
– Added ‘CPU frequency’ selector.
– Added ‘Set Max volume’ button.
– Updated eunhasu, smb avahi services.
-Disabled unused avahi service(nfs).
– Changed a few GUI texts.
– Fixed up ‘Start with Logitech Media Server’ bug.

 

CPU Latency tune and CPU frequency functions can improve sound quality by changing CPU and OS settings.
This feature is only available with the latest version of Eunhasu firmware and the latest kernel versions, and supported on Intel series CPUs such as sMQ-Q370.

 

– CPU Latency tune
The biggest function of CPU Latency tune is that it improves sound quality by controlling CPU operation and OS functions.

When this function is turned off, like other general OS settings, when the CPU does not need to be operated, the CPU settings are changed to operate slowly or stop operation to reduce power consumption. If the CPU operates slowly or stops and the CPU needs to operate quickly again due to processing, change the CPU’s frequency and settings to enable it to operate quickly again. However, during this operation, the operating frequency and voltage of the CPU change, and the CPU’s response to certain processing (latency) becomes slow, which reduces sound quality.

If you turn on CPU Latency tune, the CPU will wait for content to be processed without changing the CPU’s operating frequency and voltage even when it does not need to operate. Additionally, when something needs to be processed, it can be processed immediately without having to change the operating frequency and voltage of the CPU, so the CPU’s response (latency) becomes very fast and the best sound quality can be maintained.
To change this setting, you must reboot Eunhasu for the setting to take effect.
For the best sound quality, we recommend always turning it on.

 

-CPU frequency
* Performance: Automatically controls the operating frequency and turbo boost function of the installed CPU.
* Frequency : Set the CPU frequency.
* Frequency + turbo: Turns on the CPU’s basic maximum frequency (base frequency) and turbo boost function, and if necessary, the CPU’s frequency is automatically controlled up to the max turbo frequency.
* Frequency only: Operates the CPU at the selected frequency. The turbo boost function is turned off and a constant frequency is always maintained.

 

If the frequency setting is too slow, the CPU may not be able to process the required processing quickly, which may cause problems with music playback. Therefore, you must test to set the frequency to a problem-free frequency.
It is recommended to set it to 50 to 80% of the CPU’s maximum speed, but depending on the PC situation, it may operate without problems at lower frequencies and sound quality may be improved.

 

The updated kernel version no. is 6.1.60.

Thank you!
