I received a note back from them that new MA-1 firmware is in final testing phase and is planned to be released sometime around the end of this month (June)
From the general info I received regarding the firmware, it was stated to be substantial improvement.
thanks Kev, 'only new update coming is central air conditioning in the house in the next few weeks.... :0 I decided the ART/GAT combo with the Maggies is just too good for me to live through the summer months without. Just today I bit the bullet, took advantage of "tube-depot" July 4th 10% discount, plus their quantity 20 discount on KT-120s, so now I have a full replacement set of power tubes for the ARTs. Heaven help me I'm a full fledged tube-guy now. :disbelief:
I've reached a plateau I guess, I just like the current setup so much that I hate to mess with it much. I'm actually the process of re-purposing the MC452 into another system "upstairs system" in any case, it's all good! :exciting:
...the Meitner support person has been great getting back to me with updates on the DACs, from what I gather, these updates will be well worth the wait. :heart:
I am so happy for you. Congratulations. The only problem with my CJ gear (GAT+ART monos) is that I can not get to sleep if they are playing. I am so drawn into the music that I stay up all night listening. I guess that's not so bad.
