So on Feb 28th, CA released their latest firmware update. Immediately following that my 851N would not recognize my laptop and needless to say I kinda freaked out as this is the main way I navigate what I listen to and the last update shut down my streamers bluetooth feature (which I sent a nasty email regarding this). Sent another nasty email to CA customer service and their response was "Did you do a factory reset like we asked you to do last time???" Uh no. So I wrote down my presets so I could easily reprogram them and went into settings. At the very bottom of the list is "factory reset".

Once the reset was done I had to redo the wifi link. Plugged in my laptop and immediately the 851N shows something I've never seen before "USB Audio 96.0kHz" Used to only show 48kHz unless I was playing a "master" file on Tidal. YES!!!

Any owners of these streamers who've had updates might want to try this if you're having any issues.

Belles 21A Pre modded with Mundorf Supreme caps
B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks refreshed and upgraded
Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)
