Has MA abandoned 1st generation Element devices?

[Michael_1189]

Hi,
I have Element M (the first generation) which works so far, however I’m a lit worried that MA has abandoned support for 1st generation devices as the firmware was not updated for years. Now it seems to me that Tidal has introduced hires flac to replace mqa, assume it mean change needed in my device to support flac streaming. Will MA continue to provide support and add the Hi-res flac when it’s ready?
Thank you!
