When do I need a Firmware update?
*** If an MSB Network Renderer is installed and has an active internet connection, The module firmware will update automatically, but it WILL NOT update your DAC firmware. This must still be down manually using the files below.***
DAC firmware updates offer both corrections of problems we found and performance improvements. We recommend keeping your DAC Firmware up to date. You can check the current version of Firmware installed by following these steps:
-
- Press the menu button on the front of the unit (The button marked with three lines)
- Turn the volume knob until “Software” is displayed (This screen will display the currently installed revision number of firmware)
- Compare this number with the revision number listed below. If it do not match, Please update your unit.
