I recently had my processor's firmware updated from 1.03 to 2.03. It was also cleaned, with all I/O adjusted.
There was no operational reason why I sent it in. Just wanted it to be up-to-date :roll: :B Anyway, I must admit, I'm in love and pissed at the same time. This thing has never sound better! Much better clarity and seperation. This was an unexpected surprise. What was a more laid back sound now has more resolution with better dynamics. I can't believe I've waited two years to do this!
Also, my unit used to click (like a relay switch) when I change from one source to another. Not a loud pop through the speakers, just a click at the unit. It was not bothersome to me but, the Ref 50 no longer does it. Now it is dead quiet.
A few things that are note worthy:
1) It was a 4 week turn around.
2) THX Ultra now shows up on the pre/pro's display window
3) Unit looks brand spanking new on the inside.
4) There was no cost out of pocket. I simply returned it to my dealer that I purchased from (They are an authorized B&K repair facility too) and they took care of shipping to B&K (warranty).
I've only had it back for two days now. But, It's like having a new toy. Kudos to B&K for going the extra yard, even though I just sent it in for the firmware!!! :T
