XMC-1 Firmware 4.1 now available.

[Hair Nick]

Hey everyone,

Just want to let you know that the new XMC-1 4.1 firmware is now available under the resources tab on the product page.

Updates:
• New modern look for the front panel display and OSD (no borders).
Bug Fixes:
Several minor bugs were fixed (based on our testing and user input), including:
• Subwoofer crossover slope setting of 12 dB/octave now survives a cold boot.
• Setup with a single back speaker no longer allows “DSD Plus Backs” mode (this mode is not valid with a single back speaker).
• Manual Lip Sync delay now updates on an input or bit-stream change (the update under these conditions was previously inconsistent).
• With certain configurations, some users experienced a loud thump if they started Dirac, then exited without taking any measurements; this has been corrected.

This is great timing.. since I was going to complain that after enabling DIRAC, all volume levels are extremely low except for the left front speaker. I'll try the new firmware

[novisnick]

Question, will I/we be able to revert back to the previous firmware if I/we are not happy with this new one?

Can you skip 4.0 and upgrade to 4.1?

Verified that my DIRAC problem was fixed by upgrading to 4.1.

1) Yes, you should be able to go from any previous version to v4.1.

2) Yes, you can re-install a previous version of the firmware if you like..... (within reason)

Updated with no issues. Gigantic improvement over the UMC-200.
Thanks Emotiva.

Updated here too with no issues - XMC-1 (no upgrade boards). I simply LOVE the borderless front panel display!

Here are the versions now:
Firmware Version 4.1 17/05/04
FP Version 1.4 15/10/20
Kernel Version 1.1 15.04.07
HDMI Version 1.2 15/07/22
CPLD Version 1.1 15/04/21

This update also fixed the blank HDMI version info from Firmware 4.0 on my XMC-1.

I havent been able to run Dirac without it crashing on my MacBook for almost 3 months is there a fix coming for this? There's no point in buying the all new T2 setup if I cant rerun Dirac once the speakers are in place. Any info is greatly appreciated

Firmware update went well, I like the new border less front panel and OSD.

Update went as smooth as one could expect.

[vcautokid]

Indeed plus one.

[diablo561]

I upgraded to 4.1 last night, Everything went smoothly. Other than the difference in the display, I haven't seen or heard any difference

[LCSeminole]

My update went uneventful as well, and that is a good thing. As for hearing any differences, from what I read in the updates, unless you were hearing the thumps when starting Dirac and exiting without taking measurements, then there shouldn't be any difference.
