It also zaps configuration data to a known state. So if you do an upgrade that uses new configuration data in an previously unused area of memory, instead of the new data areas containing any old cr@p, it gets initialised to something meaningful. This is the main reason for doing a retype when performing an upgrade.

So retype actually means a complete new setup from scratch?
This is what I inadvertently did and perhaps that's why I'm noticing a major sound improvement.

Darryl, One would assume that you either: <OL TYPE=1> [*]Saved existing configuration as a file [*]Attached to product and saved configuration prior to firmware upgrade</OL> Both of these are good safety practices anyway, as you should have a current copy of your config floating around for a rainy day ![[Linked Image from softronix.com]](http://www.softronix.com/ubb/smile.gif) Cheers,

Very much so John.
Not only did I save it but I also copied it from my laptop to my PC.
