Just installed the new firmware, this is great - sound quality seems much better now.
Is it correct though that the voice assistant functionality is unavailable if music is being played? Suggestion would be to use the Ok/Confirm button on the player to pause music and trigger wake word.
@SeByDocKy - I want to implement the same functionality; can you propose a PR to github so this can be implemented in the main version?
As a side note, I would recommend installing Music Assistant if not done so already. Latest version provides easy integration of Spotify Connect for any speaker including ESP based ones.
