How each record is verified
- The version and release date must come from a manufacturer, official support portal, official app-store listing or a reproducible device screen.
- Device firmware is distinguished from mobile apps, desktop drivers and cloud-side service changes.
- Staged rollouts are labelled Rolling; availability on one device does not prove global availability.
- Regional, operating-system and hardware-generation limits are recorded when they matter.
- A change log is not treated as proof that a defect is fixed on every system. Independent testing and reader reports are tracked separately.
- If sources conflict, the entry is marked for editorial review instead of silently choosing one value.
Fields used in the monitoring database
Every product-level entry should include: brand, exact model, hardware revision, firmware version, app name and version, operating system, release date, rollout type, region, key changes, known regressions, update method, rollback availability, official source, verification date and editorial confidence.
Submit an update or correction
If your device shows a newer version, send the exact model, region, firmware/app version, date observed and a screenshot or official link through our Contact page. Reader reports are treated as leads until independently verified.

Verification and issue impact
- Eversolo and WiiM staged rollout completion, rollback availability and installed-base fix rates remain Pending verification.
- JBL does not identify every compatible device or every defect covered by its generic stability notes.
- The repeated WiiM Spotify pop-noise fix is manufacturer-confirmed but not independently verified across the installed base.
- RoPieee 2026.08.3 is marked resolved-verified only for the documented RoPieee endpoint-disappearance incident. Do not extend that status to Volumio, DietPi or generic Linux failures.
- No other Product Issues or lifecycle status was changed.

Verified update — Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW2 Rev1009
Brand / product: Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW2 and the regional/model variants listed by the official updater.
Firmware: Rev1009. Release date: 1 Aug 2025. Verified by SoundPath Lab: 11 Aug 2026.
Update path: OTA through the latest Audio-Technica | Connect app. Audio-Technica lists Rev1003, Rev1007 and Rev1008 as eligible source versions.
Change and fix: Audio-Technica says Rev1009 improves security-related functionality. UK OPSS states that the patch addresses a Bluetooth SoC vulnerability that could allow someone in close proximity to take control of an affected device.
Affected scope: UK OPSS identifies ATH-CKS50TW2BK and ATH-CKS50TW2GR in batches before 2526. The manufacturer's updater also lists ATH-CKS50TW2 variants DV, GG, ML and R2, but the regulator's affected-batch statement should not be extrapolated to those variants.
Known risks / unknowns: exact CVE or exploit details, incident count, total affected population, scope outside the UK report and independent post-update retest results are Unknown. Earbuds cannot be used during the update; Audio-Technica says the iOS process can take up to 15 minutes.
Verification: High — official manufacturer release notes plus a government product-safety report. Issue status: resolved-pending-verification.
Issue record: https://www.soundpathlab.com/audio-technica-ath-cks50tw2-bluetooth-security-fix/

Pending verification — Arylic LP10 firmware and GO CONTROL
Brand / product: Arylic LP10 network streamer.
Firmware: AR241CE_92 4 3/16-0e74fa98. GO CONTROL app: 2.1.4.543, released May 19, 2026.
Status: Official sources conflict. Arylic’s LP10 firmware-help page identifies the firmware above but still calls GO CONTROL 2.1.1.501 the latest app version; Arylic’s official app release notes list 2.1.4.543. Rollout date, region and mobile-platform coverage remain pending verification.
Editorial action: Record the newer official app release without treating the older help-page claim as current. No Product Issues status or buying conclusion has changed.
Official sources: https://www.arylic.com/tools/help/l-series/how-to-update-firmware-on-lp10 | https://www.arylic.com/blogs/go-control-app-release-notes
Revision: 31 Aug 2026 — Added Arylic LP10 firmware and GO CONTROL 2.1.4.543; marked the conflicting 2.1.1.501 help-page claim, rollout date, region and platform scope as pending verification.
Source watch and Early Access — 4 September 2026 addendum
These official changes were found after the 4 September publication baseline. Roon Early Access builds are test-channel releases and must not be presented as current production versions.
| Brand / ecosystem | Product or service | Version / date | Status | What changed / why it matters | Official source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Naim | Naim Internet Radio directory and metadata service | Service update reported 2 Sep 2026; work performed during Aug 2026 | Official service-side report; no client firmware version | Naim says it updated more than 800 station records after stream-server changes, especially in the United States. It also reports a dedicated extended-metadata server, more than 800 stations using the newer metadata system and roughly 50 additions per month. The exact player, app, region and preset impact remains Pending verification. | Naim official community report |
| Roon Labs | Roon / RoonServer / Roon Remote; Roon ARC | Roon 2.73 build 1686; ARC 1.83 build 426 — 1 Sep 2026 | Official Early Access; not production | Adds custom images for local Roon playlists and waveform display for streaming tracks; improves Google Cast discovery and stability, shuffle, drag-and-drop, Live Radio, scrobbling and client behaviour. Manufacturer-described potential fixes are not treated as verified resolutions. | Roon Early Access notes |
| Roon Labs | RoonOS for Nucleus / ROCK | Build 282 — 11 Sep 2026 | Official Early Access; not production; manufacturer-described fix resolved-pending-verification | Quick follow-up release that Roon says fixes inability to connect to an SMB shared folder by hostname in certain cases. It supersedes build 281 in the Early Access channel; build 280 remains historical. Production availability, the exact affected network conditions, rollback behaviour and independent confirmation remain Pending verification. Do not extend this status to unrelated SMB security or anonymous-access reports. | RoonOS Early Access notes |
Verification and issue impact
- Naim's change is service-side directory and metadata maintenance, not proof of a device firmware or app fix.
- Roon 2.73/ARC 1.83 and RoonOS 282 remain Early Access; production release dates and final change scope are Pending verification.
- RoonOS build 282 carries an official fix claim for SMB hostname connections in certain cases. It is resolved-pending-verification, not resolved-verified, and does not resolve unrelated anonymous-SMB-access reports.
- SPL-ROON-RB-001 remains resolved-verified only for the RoPieee 2026.08.3 endpoint-disappearance incident.
- No Product Issues or lifecycle status changed.
Revision: 4 Sep 2026 — Added Naim Internet Radio's August directory and metadata maintenance report plus Roon 2.73/ARC 1.83 and RoonOS 280 Early Access releases. No Newsletter was sent.
Revision: 14 Sep 2026 — Added Shure WAVETOOL 4 and replaced the RoonOS Early Access build 280 current row with build 282. WAVETOOL platform requirements and migration behaviour remain Pending verification. RoonOS 282 is not production, and its SMB hostname fix remains resolved-pending-verification without independent retest. No Product Issues or lifecycle status changed; no Newsletter sent.
