Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Thread Like Summary - DSP5500 firmware worthwhile??

Have never upgraded firmware for my mains DSP-5500 upgraded to 24/96k. Is the firmware upgrade worthwhile regarding processing resolution? The others don't seem like a big deal. My center channel is a DSP5000C.

Improved crossover.

DSP5500 Product Firmware Release 5.10 (2006-08-02)

Software Fixes - Useful - May be useful to upgrade but not essential
Volume control responds according to system address - relevant to some two-room systems.
Latency through DSP speakers unified at 7.5ms.

Mids/high’s are better.
Voices sound more natural, and biggest change the sound is hanging mid air in front of the speaker.
Hard to explain, but it gave me the same kind of effect with 2.5b9 firmware for the 568.2 processor.

Timing latency is now also the same with my DSP33’s, which made a good improvement in surround content.
