New Firmware for Playback Designs MPS-5

Doggiehowser:

I'm confused by your statement that "it" (presumably the latest update) over-writes the entire firmware and is therefore not cumulative. To me, "over-write" means the new firmware replaces the firmware or data previously located in a given space on the drive. "Cumulative" means that the latest update includes all prior firmware as well as the most recent changes. If the latest update is not cumulative, then it has only the latest changes and, if it over-writes all existing firmware, then only the latest changes will remain. I think that either (a) you meant to say that the latest update is not "additive" or (b) your meaning of "over-write" is that the newly installed firmware merely adds to firmware that is already present. Is that correct?

Sorry. Typing on a small phone has its drawbacks.

The firmware update over writes it fully. You don't need to apply the individual preceding firmware updates.

Thanks all for their inputs !

Cheer !

I installed the firmware update #23 which was a beauty. Lower Noise Floor which allows greater detail retrieval. To my ears the improvements were obvious and not so subtle. I have also upgraded firmware update #24 released about a month ago - as has already been suggested this release did not have any sound improvements - only bug fixes. Would be really good if they provided "release notes" with these upgrades as they are relesed!

Just for everyone , MPS-5 Update available as #026 .
Does anyone have any opinion on the USB-X box , seems little talks on this small add-on box , I have chance to get hold of one used , any advice on this little box ?
