I'm even later to this party. With a BIG assist from Robert W., I changed to the C00044 file this afternoon. Immediately, I thought the highs smoother while listening through the Touch to Classic FM in London. Very clear, very much like the 808.2 I had a while back. I'm exclusively using the Music preset with a few filters helping from MRC.It's even more impressive while listening to streamed CDs as I write this. Overall, to my ears, an improvement at least as significant as the recent software release. Maybe one proviso. The steering is stronger in width, meaning the speakers don't disappear as before but seem more to be the sound source. I'll have to play with positioning to see if I can get back to a full sound stage.
