Firmware
For Renderer V1 Firmware > Click here.
This page contains instructions for checking the current firmware that is installed on your renderer.
If the Network Renderer V2 is provided with an active internet connection, the Renderer V2 will automatically stay up to date with the latest firmware.
The renderers update procedure is pretty simple and happens as discretely as possible. After the renderer ensures that it has an active internet connection, its waits for 5 minutes before checking if there is an update to be installed. If there is no update, the renderer will wait 24 hours before checking again. If there is an update, the renderer will download and install the firmware, but it wont be active until a reboot takes place. A restart can be forced by the user by simply powering off your DAC and then turning it back on. However; the renderer will reboot itself without turning off your DAC after the unit has sat idle with no playback detected by the renderer for 1 hour.
Checking the firmware using the DAC menu
On the MSB Reference or Select DAC, you can navigate to the “Input” slot section of your DAC menu to find the Input slot that the renderer is currently installed in and it will display the firmware code.
*** NOTE. Navigating to the “Input” section of your DAC menu is not the same as simply changing the active input for audio playback. If you experience issues with finding the “Input” slot section of your DAC menu, refer to the menu section of your DAC User Manual. ***
