Can you provide the link please - I may be stupid, and looking in the wrong place, but if you go to the Explorer 2 support page there is nothing there. Thanks.

Hi,

My Explorer is registered with Meridian (only bought it last week) so the file is on the "My products" page.

It appears to be on the Explorer support page now.

The Prime support page has version V1718 for the headphone amp.

Does anyone have the 818v3 MQA firmware upgrade yet? If so, could they please send me a copy?

Thanks.

I didn't see it there earlier even though my Explorer 2 is registered also. Now I can't even bring up the My Products page anymore. Keep getting logged out.

Indeed it is. Had to refresh the page. Seems we caught whoever is uploading this in the act.

I noticed that too the files are identical (confirmed with MD5 hash).

In any event, I get an error after I do a Scan with the uploader tool. It says:

Found a Meridian Explorer 2 device ID: XXXXXX
An error has been detected.
Please contact Meridian Audio Support...

Hi,

I'm still at work (without my Explorer) so I'm not going to be able to try the update (on a mac) until much later tonight.

Downloader worked okay on my Macbook Pro, scan found the Explorer 2 and updated to V1717 without problem.

OK, so I've updated my Prime to V1718. Typically Roon wanted to update at the same time so I need to wait for that to initialize before I can see whether that little hidden white light lights up or not.

Hi,

Firmware should be available [from the 4th] from your local dealer or failing that I suggest you contact one of the HH friendly dealers that post on here.

I'll PM you their contact details, I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Regards,
Carl
