Hi Everyone

Can someone help me with a couple of �idiot� questions�.

I have recently acquired a pair of DSP3100s which I use only with a Squeezebox 3. I was wondering about the firmware upgrade, mine show 'D31 0.26' when I press the display button. What does this mean? I believe they are fairly early models and have never been upgraded.

In the context of my system is the upgrade to v1.30 worth it? I�m not sure how effective the apodising is with a basic Squeezebox running WAV files ripped from CDs.

Many thanks


System: DSP7200SE (upgraded) + RPI (PiCorePlayer) with Allo Digione running Squeezebox system.

Also various legacy 500 components - 557x2, 502, 508-20bit, 566-24bit plus too many other misc amps/speakers.

Since you don't have a processor or HD621 to do the upsampling, I would recommend upgrading your DSP's to the latest firmware for the benefit of the apodizing.

I haven't seen that version but I suspect it was an early version of the DSP software.

Hi

There have only been 2 fw releases link and I agree with MJT5282 apodising should make a significant improvement.

With the caveat that user firmware updating 3100's has a higher than they should chance of turning them into a brick.
