Yes I did, I believed in Erwin's knowledge and withdrawn his messages that he can't guarantee of the v3 is still alive after that and take the risk with some heartbeats. But it works perfect.
I only tested CD now very critical, I only can say its a clear sound improvement. It's different on the music style, but always better.
So I'am very glad and happy now to have a superb sound with my old 800. I will test DVD-V and DVD-A just to complete the test.
Video quality I cannot test as I use my 800 "only" for music and have just a very bad small (setup) monitor. But as I only changed audio firmware nothing can/Should happened here.
Thanks again Erwin, Robert

The G91 only up samples when in stereo configuration and not when in surround configuration. Does the apodising update affect all configurations available in the G91? The G91 has an upsample filter in both the core firmware and the dvd firmware, so if you update both, then apodizing should effect all configs that had upsampling before. G91 may have more than one copy of the filter but it does not upsample anything when configured for multichannel. No upsample no apodizing.

I would need also 800v3 software for update.
2.51 is supposed to be the last one for my 800v3. Where to find it?

The only way to update a 800v3 is to use the v4 firmware as Robert did. Also v2.51 was not the last version for the v3, Robert had v2.67 in his v3.

Hmm, and the risk of bricking it it there I suppose.
There is no VE12 in my unit.

Hi George
My G91 shows upsampling for radio, yellow light on DSP5500. Is this an error?

Evdberg,
Thanks so much for this! I am testing it on a 568.2 and 8000s, so far very nice. no issues.
Any chance the 7000s will be updatable? I doubt Meridian will ever touch those - would make my year!
Thanks again!

I'm going to try this on various bits of kit I have around the place. Very interesting, thanks for your efforts on all our behalfs!
I also have a 568.1 which can upsample (if only the front channels) is there a way to try this on that unit or is the DSP engine just short of horse-power?
Best wishes
Richard

I can report success with my 800v4 - worked like a charm. Although, no chance to listen yet (other than to quickly confirm 800 functions properly).

Upgraded my 861v4 without any issues, now to try some listening tests. Thanks for your efforts.
