Hi everyone,
We’re excited to share that a new update is now available for our Beta testers. This release introduces improvements, and refinements designed to enhance the StreamMagic experience.
As always, thank you for being part of the Beta Programme and helping us shape the future of the app.
What’s new in this update:
· Improved first-time experience – Welcome and onboarding screens have been refreshed to make getting started clearer and more intuitive.
· More precise EQ control (for Gen4 devices) – EQ adjustments now include visible frequency values for greater precision and control over your sound.
· Redesigned Settings section – The Settings layout has been updated for a more consistent experience across the app.
· Update to the Beta Programme – The Beta app is now the single entry point for all beta testing, replacing Early Update.
· Various behind-the-scenes improvements and bug fixes.
StreamMagic app version: 4.3.0 (no unit firmware update required).
What’s next
We know many of you are waiting for more feature-rich updates and bigger releases. We want to reassure you that we’re actively working on these improvements, and you can expect more significant feature updates later this year.
Updates to the Cambridge Beta Programme
We’re making some important updates to the Cambridge Beta Programme to simplify how beta testing works across both the StreamMagic app and device firmware, and to remove confusion that has existed between different testing paths.
Previously, there were two separate ways of accessing beta software:
“Early Update” for device firmware
The StreamMagic Beta app
We’ve found that this split approach sometimes created confusion within the community. To make things clearer and more consistent, we are streamlining the experience.
What is changing?
From now on:
Early Update will be removed from the app settings
The Cambridge Beta section in the “More” tab will become the entry point for beta participation – you can also join Beta here: Cambridge Beta Programme | Cambridge Audio UK
The Beta app will become the single trigger for Beta firmware updates
Why are we making this change?
The goal of the Beta Programme is to ensure testers are using a complete beta ecosystem - both the app and the firmware.
By aligning the two:
The Beta app will check whether your device is running Beta firmware
If needed, it will guide you through updating to the correct Beta version
This ensures a consistent and reliable testing environment
The Beta Programme will continue to run in defined testing periods throughout the year, rather than being continuously active. Outside of these periods, we recommend using the standard app and firmware for the most stable everyday experience.
What does this mean for you?
If you are currently using Early Update only, this option will no longer be available
If you are already part of the Beta app testing group, nothing changes. If you are not, you should join the Cambridge Beta Programme to continue testing early software.
If you are not interested in testing, no action is needed - your device will continue running standard public releases as normal
