It consists of a new dac board that replaces the old one, plus some capacitors & resistors. Not anything I wanted to tackle. Cost is $1,000 for the upgrade kit, plus installation. It's still very new, so I can't say with any certainly what the improvements will be when it's fully broken in. However all the experts say it's a definite improvement over the original version. I'm told that none of the new 24/192 models comes with the upgraded dac installed at the factory. You must have it installed by a dealer or qualified technician. Hope this helps.

The former is contained in the upgrade kit provided my Electrocompaniet. It includes a new brass plate for the top of the cdp that indicates it has been upgraded to "24 bit upsampler 192khz dac".

You are right that the upgrade that I just had installed is the only upgrade currently available. I wasn't even aware of a future upgrade. Had I been, I might have waited to have them both performed at the same time. Regards.
