    New firmware and USB drivers have been released for MA-1 and DAC2X.

    The info is not on their web site (at least it wasn't last I looked) it appears they prefer asking your dealer for the info, or contacting Meitner direct.

    My dealer confirmed firmware for the MA-1 (meitner DAC) and DAC2x is ready for download and that the XDS1 V2 and MA-2 updates will be ready 'soon'.

    Re: Meitner MA-1 firmware update.

    As some of you know EMM Labs/Meitner has just released a MAJOR Firmware Upgrade for the DAC2x and MA-1.

    I have the MA-1 and here is my impressions on the differences in the sonics after the upgrade.

    But first, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND GET THIS FIRMWARE UPGRADE, PERIOD!!

    OK, So far I hear HUGE dynamics with more lifelike harmonics, better imaging, separation of instruments, with a bigger sound-stage, cleaner-less noise, not that it was noisy before, better spacial cues. Better leading and trailing edge. Highs that go ever so high but are not harsh but clean, in a natural way. Better timing and pace, so more musical...etc.

    And I can go on and on. I do not know how they could do so much of a sonic improvement with just a Firmware Upgrade.

    Two of the PCM hirez albums I used. Lang Lang, Rachmaninoffiano Concert No, 3 (24/176) and Dave Brubeck, Concord on a Summer Night.

    I have not tried DSD yet.

    Contact your dealer or EMM LABS or Meitner for the firmware.

    Re: Meitner MA-1 firmware update.

    Does anyone know the current status of the EMM Labs XDS1 v2 firmware update? The last I heard the firmware was released and then withdrawn for some reason.

    I've been running it for awhile now, I checked the link I used to download and it appears to still work. I'm not sure why they never made it available on their web site.. I've not heard anything at all further. I'd be curious as well if it's not being offered any more.

    Re: Meitner MA-1 firmware update.

    With help from my dealer I was able to install the EMM Labs MDAT2 firmware update this past Saturday on my XDS1 v2. I was immediately struck by the increased articulation, openness, inner detail and separation, the increased attack and authority. The bass is most obviously better defined and solid. This upgrade is indeed not subtle! It's truly amazing what mathematics can do for music!

    I applied the firmware (XDS1_V2_MDAT2_Update.zip) file to my EMM Labs XDS1 v2 player. Access to the zip files requires a EMM Labs password (?) which was supplied to me by my retailer.

    I think it would be best for you to speak directly to your authorized EMM Labs dealer.
