Will the beta firmware be updated to catch up or are we stuck with outdated firmware?

Just updated the firmware on my wiim amp. I didn't touch any settings on the EQ, but I can hear an improvement in the sound. more clarity, details and separation. not sure what they did on this latest update, but I like it.

If a firmware update included all those benefits I am sure WiiM would have mentioned it in the release notes...

Anyone got latest update on amp?

Latest update for the Amp arrived today. I'm not expecting the "Refined Auto sensing" (again) to make any difference.

Firmware was failing to install for me on my Amp but a reboot and it then completed fine. Just a tip if anyone has the same problem
