    Ref 30 upgrades...what is the status?

    I know I should just call B&K and get them to tell me, but does anyone already know?

      A phone call is much better that trying to get an answer from the web site :x

      I've heard that they distribute the software to the dealers, have you checked with one of them???

          The upgrade will include a new processing chip, as well as new software. It will have to be done by a B&K service rep or B&K themselves.

          As of ~2 weeks ago, the upgrade was still in limbo, according to a B&K tech rep. They should be close by now, but they wouldn't say.

              This is very frustrating :x

              Makes me wish I had spent the extra cheese for something higher end like Theta...but I will concede that buying a Ref50 is probably cheaper than upgrading a Casablanca...isn't it?

                  This really doesn't bother me much, as the only thing that I would gain is DPLII. And I don't really listen to DSP modes, so no big whoop.

                  Now, what does bother me is the fact that, if I was hot to trot about a new feature thru an upgrade, I'd be SOL, as B&K is very slow and very closed mouth about the entire upgrade strategy, if there is one.

                      A question about the Ref 20
                      by MannyE
                      Was the Ref 20 also supposed to be upgradable as is the Ref 30?

                      If so...now that the 30 has been on the market for quite some time, have they received an upgrade?

                      I am very interested in the answer to this question, especially if the 20 was advertised with the same "upgrade"...

                      I just ordered a Music Hall MMF 5 that will eventually be incorporated into my totally analog tube stereo system, but since the speakers are not going to be ready for quite some time (DIY Lowther folded horn thingys) I want to be able to listen while I wait.

                      I picked up a phono preamp...

                      by gostan
                      After demoing various amplifiers over the past year, I made the decision to upgrade to the NuForce Ref 9's, which were delivered this past Friday. I thought that I would post my initial impressions as this product is rather new and has been the subject of some interesting responses on the two existing...

                      I see that there isn't much activity here so I thought I'd throw this out there and see if may be some different readers have some opinions to offer. I posted a similar thread on the general HT forum prior to doing as much research. I've read in previous posts about the issues with the popping and clicking....

                      REF 50 dropping audio
                      by Russ359
                      Hi. New to the this forum. Has any had problems with their REF 50 dropping audio for a second or so? I have a REF 30 up upgraded to the latest REF 50 ( about a week ago). My satellite feed is from a Direct TV HD TiVO. While listening the REF occasionally drops sound for a second. I know it is the REF...
