Support for this OS will conclude in December 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This decision allows us to fully focus on our new, proprietary <strong>432OS<\/strong>, which delivers a significantly improved listening experience with enhanced sound quality, stability, and performance. Maintaining the old OS has become increasingly challenging due to its age, compatibility issues across 10 different motherboard versions, and the scarcity of spare parts for older hardware.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Your Investment is Protected with an Upgrade Path!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We believe in supporting your investment. Unlike some competitors, we&#8217;re not leaving older units behind. We&#8217;re proud to offer an exceptional <strong>upgrade service for all 432 EVO owners, dating back to 2013!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Send in your unit, and we&#8217;ll upgrade its core IT components (motherboard, RAM, storage) to our <strong>latest 2025 specifications.<\/strong> This ensures your existing 432 EVO chassis is future-proofed and ready to run our advanced 432OS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Why upgrade?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><strong>Superior Sound &amp; Stability:<\/strong> Experience the full benefits of 432OS.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extended Support:<\/strong> We commit to supporting 432OS for <strong>10 years<\/strong>, ensuring your music server remains current and secure for nearly a decade. (We proudly supported the old OS for 12 years, demonstrating our long-term commitment!)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost-Effective:<\/strong> This upgrade is a far more affordable solution than selling your current unit and purchasing a brand new system, maximizing the value of your original investment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Future-Ready:<\/strong> Your dedicated audio output hardware in all 432 EVO units is fully compatible with the new IT parts and 432OS, ensuring seamless integration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Important Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Units still under warranty, and all units purchased since February 2022, are already compatible with 432OS or will require minimal upgrades (SSD reinstall with 432OS).<\/li>\n<li>Older units may require more extensive upgrades, but we&#8217;ve designed this service to be cost-effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Important Update for Our Valued Reseller Network<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To ensure all our end-users consistently experience the very best of 432 EVO, we&#8217;re continuously working to enhance our products and support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With the launch of <strong>432OS<\/strong> and our commitment to supporting the <strong>latest 2025-spec hardware<\/strong> for the next decade, it&#8217;s crucial that our reseller network reflects this forward momentum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Therefore, we&#8217;ll be updating our official reseller list on the 432 EVO website to feature partners who actively showcase and support our current technology. This means resellers maintaining up-to-date demo units running <strong>432OS<\/strong> will be listed, ensuring potential customers can always experience the superior sound and stability of our latest offerings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We encourage any reseller with an older demo unit, or those who&#8217;ve sold their demo, to reach out to us.
