Mcintosh customer support


Requested Firmware update from Mcintosh for my ageing but still good sounding D150 Dac Mcintosh customer support virtually refused to supply Firmware v 1.02 with me . their answer was,,

( Unfortunately, company policy prohibits me from sending out firmware updates. We used to distribute them openly but they ended up on forums and were installed into incorrect units causing a massive influx in service repairs. At that point the company instituted the policy to no longer distribute them.)

it is so sad that Audio Giant like McIntosh do not care about their customers.

@sabih -- you complained about McIntosh's poor communications with you that required multiple back-and-forths to get an answer, but your own postings leave me a bit confused.  I've read the thread twice and it's not clear to me if they are simply refusing to provide the file for you to do the update yourself or if they have refused to update your D150 even if you send it back to them for service.  What's the story, or is there more to it? (For example, they'll do the upgrade if you ship it back but they want to charge for it.)
