Bit late to ask, I think, but it would be great if one could rename the input strings. Now it says USB, SP/DIF, analog and so on, for which I rather would see (in my case) Rasp, Olive, Dual. But I fear there wil never come another update for the "old" Brooklyn. Nevertheless, if not asked, no hope.

Could be. Can you still operate the Brooklyn with the remote?

If you haven't already done that: contact Mytek. A non functional unit which after upgrading displays "Invalid serial No. Please contact dealer” is unexpected.

It's rather silent at the firmware front for the original Brooklyn. Maybe it's at its wit's end with version 2.36, but if not, I hope that Mytek sees some improvements that they have in mind for the + version, that also applies to the, eh, - version. And I have a tiny suggestion too: when it starts up, tell me which source is active, USB, SPDIF, analogue or what. Now it's guessing.

But as afterthought: With the remote it is pretty impossible to do something nasty.

No. But who knows, in a new firmware, Mytek??? Would indeed be nice.

That is the last version for the Brooklyn, the same as I use. It says INT on USB, and IN on S/Pdif (and a lot more, but that is what I use).

Not really. With S/Pdif and WCK, I get no sound out of my aging Olive 4. With IN always. With 44.1 when I play ripped cd's, with hihger numbers nothing. I just switched to Tidal on my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ connected via USB, and without doing anything, the sync said INT. I wouldn't bother very much though. With IN and INT you let the Brooklyn bother, that's just fine.

And I have to check what options are displayed with USB. With S/Pdif it's just IN, WCK and a lot of numbers.

With S/PDif choose IN, there is no INT with that kind of input (at least with my Brooklyn)

Can someone split this topic in one for the Brooklyn DAC+ and one for the Brooklyn DAC (without plus). I find it confusing. For the Brooklyn Mytek has restored the last firmware 2.36 here: https://mytekdigital.com/hifi/support/

I have asked Mytek why firmware version 2.36 was replaced by 2.32 and got the answer that it must be a mistake.

If Mytek is wise, they embed the update facility in their products, and get rid of those external software solutions. It's no guarantee for their eternal existence though. My aged Olive 4 streamer has such a lovely OS-independent update function, nevertheless the company is gone.But this year it's doing its duty for 10 years in a row. So, I like to think that my Brooklyn will serve my needs till I'm gone. Than indeed it will be my last Mytek product (cf my first Sony )

Can't help you, sorry. No Windows here. But I have a habit to grab every update the Mytek provides, so I have now the whole collection of firmware upgrades for the Brooklyn on my disk. To my amazement I see now 2.32 as the latest firmware, whereas my Brooklyn is happily running 2.36. Weird.

Ok, thanks. I think I grasp their purpose a bit better. And I can understand why it costs money. I only recently acquired a Raspberry and Tidal, the other gear I have prooved to be not compatible. I can also look back at 10 years editing metadata in my streamer, mainly with classical music. I believe that Roon tries to achieve the same, and more. With Tidal and classical music it's not such a feast, f.i. there seems to be no knowledge of compositions, just tracks and albums. With over 4000 already edited cd's, I tend to think that Roon is, maybe not too little, but for me too late. But worth a try.
