Upgraded my 218 fine this morning using a simple Windows 10 laptop connected on wifi to the same network as the 218. Got a few security warnings, ticked to allow all access and everything was working within the minute.

Did a little testing using the Auralic Aries G1, nothing unexpected but as a FYI for other Auralic users, my testing showed the following... (I have the G1 connected to the 218 via coaxial digital and then onto the DSP's via SpeakerLink)

1) If the Auralic is set to do the first MQA decode (apparently using its own method...) then the DSP speakers now still report an authenticated MQA file, useful if you prefer Auralic's own decode
2) If the Auralic parametric equaliser is switched on but no band filters applied then the DSP speakers now still report an authenticated MQA file
3) If band filters are applied the DSP stop reporting MQA and revert to MHR. Purpose of this test was to see if I could re-apply room correction filters established in the g61R while still getting an MQA stream, sadly not the case

Once test over I reverted to Auralic MQA pass through, parametric equaliser off.

Anyone done any testing yet with filters in Roon through an upgraded 218? I think I remember previously reading this should work?
