@drlou77 I think the upgrade was $100.  They send you a chip. You need to remove the top of your unit and put in the chip and it updates the Bios. It did add a few more configurable filters to choose from (which have very minor differences, but I...

klh007 -  I have a VAC Signature Mk2 SE, going to a PassLabs X250.8 to B&W 803D4's.  You have me very curious to try how it will sound if I go straight into the amp. I just got the M3 a week ago, and today received the firmware 1.14 upgrade. ...

Pls help me decide Pass Labs X250.8 or Luxman M900u
@soix I have 803D4’s (not D3’s) but you are correct about the upper registers. I’d like as much imaging, 3dimensionality and life like presentation as possible. I find magic in the small details and how notes can hang in the air. @audphile1 I wou...
