McIntosh MX-132 Firmware Upgrade

Local repair shop quoted my $400 to perform the upgrade from Version 0.90 to 1.13, can anyone provide some advice at to whether or not it's worth it? I just paid $1200 for the unit, not sure I want to dump that much more into it right now. Seems to be performing well and don't have any issues with it.

Thanks,
Chris

Sorry I missunderstood what upgrade you were looking for. I thought is was a CODEC upgrade. The upgrade you are getting may help you, I had an MSD4 a few years back that when used as a D/A convertor it would cut off the first 2-3 seconds of each song on a CD as it searched for the proper code. I called Mcintosh and they fixed if for free.
Did McIntosh give a quote on doing the upgrade, I would not be suprised if they do it for free. I had to just pay the shipping back to them and they fixed and shipped it at no charge. I had bought the MSD4 used and when I told them I wasn't the original owner, the response was "Does it say McIntosh on it? then it's no charge" If they do charge you call audioclassics.com and see if they can do it cheaper and they may be able to answer if the upgrade will fix the problem.

Thanks Theo. I'll contact McIntosh and see if they would be willing to do it for free. The unit seems to be working fine, the only issue I might have is at the beginning of a song or when I'm FF digital TV, the unit will lose lock for a second or so. Mostly just an annoyance, but would be nice to get it fixed. McIntosh said their backlog is 15, though!

That is basically what the MSD4 was doing. I was using it as a DAC for my CD and each song had a millisecond of silence till if decided what is was decoding. If you can talk with Kevin (pronounced Keeevin)in the engineering dept at Mcintosh he was the one who helped me.
