MSB DAC's Popularity

my analog dac with powerbase and renderer is one i have kept, simply superb sonically (very aptly named 😄), ergonomically outstanding (extra line input and preamp volume control, and maybe the world’s best remote control... )

My friend has a MSB Reference DAC and recently updated the units firmware.  She suggested I check the MSB web site for updates to my MSB Premier DAC.   I did and found the new firmware version 19.14.

You can check the current version of Firmware installed by following these steps:

• • Press the menu button on the front of the unit (Center button with square on it)
  • Turn the volume knob until “Code” is displayed
  • You will see code revision number (my DAC showed an old version number)
  • The current version is 19.14

The Premier DAC – Firmware Update Version 19.14 released 6/30/21. This update includes minor bug fixes and a new mode to power off the Renderer if not used. See manual for details.

From the MSB Support page, I coped the firmware file to a flash drive and inserted it into my Aurender N20 Music Server.   I selected the file, hit play and the upgrade started.   PLEASE TURN YOUR VOLUME ON SO YOU CAN HEAR THE INSTRUCTIONS AND TRACK THE UPGRADE PROGRESS.  The upgrade completed and everything worked perfectly.
