Has anyone updated their A8's software recently and found any difference?

Mine has been nigh on useless since, and as no lightning adapters are yet forthcoming i sit next to it listening to my mini iPads loudspeaker!Erm..

For some reason we have only received black so far, none in white.

You can only update the A8 via an Ethernet connection and by using a 30 pin connected Apple product. If you do not own one of these a trip to your dealer will be in order.

On this point this proves the necessity of a good dealer network and means B&O cannot become reliant on 3rd party resellers and online sales. They need to remember to look after their 'partners'!

Chris, I am sure Martin will look after you!

Mine at home is connected wirelessly back to an airport express that is sat in another room. I haven't experienced any issues at all since updating to sw 3.05. Sorry I can't be of any further help
