Thanks for everyone’s help! I am the proud new owner of a black Premier with dual discrete power supplies, network renderer module and Femto 93 clock! Loving it and the burn in is real on this!

congratulations. Owned my Premier for many months now and the thrill has not diminished. Just ordered the Femto 93 clock. Can't imagine it can be better though. We will see next week when it arrives

Can’t wait to hear the differences. Would also like to hear if (and how much) burn in on the clock makes a difference.
 
Roon posted on their Instagram page @roonlabs that MSB DACs are now officially Roon certified and to download new firmware “today” (Dec 30). This is great news because my Premier, running 14.12 shows up in Roon Audio Settings as being “Uncertified”...except there is no new firmware I can find beyond 14.12 which was posted 11/1/18 on the MSB site.

Am I missing something?

Reboot your MSB DAC and see what happens. I got the updates on my end. They are pushed through automatically. I haven’t checked the Premier though. This was on the S2.
 
So the Select now shows as “Certified” in Roon?

I just turned my Premier DAC on and Roon no longer shows it as being “uncertified”. I didn’t notice anything to suggest anything was downloaded.

Updates are pushed out. Easy peasy.

The Roon post says “Update your device to the latest firmware to get started,” implying an update action is needed...nice to hear it’s just a reboot.

Are you still running firmware 14.12 on the DAC? Or did the RendererV2 firmware get auto updated instead?

Sorry, I am wrong. It still says uncertified in the “Audio” tab in Roon. I am running the latest firmware (14.12) and have rebooted the Premier several times. Wonder if no automatic renderer update is because my MSB is connected (via ethernet) to my Innuos and not directly to my router. Will try.
 
Didn’t work for me. Connected the MSB renderer directly to my router and waited 20 mins or so with the MSB idle. Still says “uncertified” in Roon.
 
My S2 certified itself a few days ago but in actuality nothing other than it's logo in Roon has changed...works the same.

If anything, integration with my iPad hangs a bit now and is slower
 
There were 40+ updates according to MSB, mostly non-essential code related to Roon.
 
It would be nice for MSB to figure a way to let their customers know what is actively going on.....

I will suggest an update summary be posted on their website.

I’ll also find out when the Premier and Discrete updates are coming.
 
Thanks Mike. Am surprised there is still no Renderer 2 manual on the website. I didn’t know it is supposed to automatically update itself. Wonder why it does for the S2 but not the Premier (unless others have found that it does?). If it is a Renderer 2 update and not a firmware update, it should not matter what the MSB model is, no?

Mike - Recommend MSB to issue “release notes” which is a standard practice for technology companies. Surprised they don’t do that.
