McIntosh MX-132 Firmware Upgrade


Hello,

Does anyone know where we can check if there are firmware upgrades available for McIntosh pre/pros? I have an MX-132 and I'd like to check if there is an upgrade available, but I can't find support for discontinued products on the McIntosh website at all.

Thanks!

No Mcintosh came out with the MX134 as a firmware upgrade.
As mentioned on of your previous threads about your 132 I have had a C39-MX130,MX132,MX134, and a MX135 and have grown tired of giving out money to McIntosh for non-upgradeable pre-pro's. So I bought an Anthem Statement D2V
I will let you know how that works out for me in a few years. It is frustrating when I look back at what I have spent on McIntosh. Sad thing is I miss the Mcintosh build on the products. I doubt I will ever get away from McIntosh amps, but the ever chaning codecs for DVD-Bluray etc, I had to stop running in circles.
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.
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.
