When do I need a Firmware update?
Firmware updates offer both corrections of problems we found and performance improvements. We recommend keeping your units 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 (Center button with three lines on it)
- Turn the volume knob until “Director” is displayed
- You will see code revision number
- The current version is 1.0.1.0 (10.10)
What to expect when doing the firmware update
This update includes two upgrades within the same file. The file is several minutes long. Please do not interrupt the process and let the file finish to the end. When you play the file you will hear instructions and two upgrade tones. Following each tone you will either hear silence for about 30 seconds (this varies) or you will hear the message ‘upgrade failed’. If all the upgrades fail, it is because you did not play the file bit-perfect. You may have computer upsampling on or digital volume control somewhere in your playback system. The screen on the DAC will confirm when the upgrade is happening. Contact MSB if you need help.
