It's not 3.11 like Apple? I'll update it anyway even though I have no issues with 3.1 first cut. I agree, not a bad turnaround time like Apple. Well done Ray.

At 7:50 PM Eastern time, only the update instruction zip file is available on the resource page even though the page shows the updated FW 3.1a file being available. Russ Edit: Never mind, I found the update in the other thread. Update complete and everything seems to be working well now! Thank you to the Emo staff for a rapid turnaround with this update!

Squeezebox fixed!
I was having an issue with my Squeezebox where it would screech in the middle of a song (it was pretty random). I thought it was the old HW going bad...I bought a used one off ebay and that one had the same problem. Oh well, I have a spare for the future.
It turns out that v3.1 fixed it!
Big Thanks!!!

Installed 3.1 Two days ago. STILL....I have not done the update on the back of the unit for playback of high res. files. (no need yet). My unit was one of those that came just before it was done at the factory Bill I must have missed something somewhere sometime. Have no idea what update you're referring to. Would you please explain. Thanks. Russ

Thanks. Russ He's referring to the USB stream input update, that adds support for sample rates up to 24/192. Check out the bottom of the "Resources" tab under the XMC-1 product page on the Emotiva home site.

Hmmm I know I did one of my units...better check the other one I guess.
Good news is 3.1a seems to have sorted the remote issues as far as I can tell with all the repeating command remotes I could test...now it's just the DSD issues

Well I did the 3.1a update but my xmc-1 is still shutting down without touching any remotes! Also by holding down the channel button on my Verizon fios remote still shuts it down, guess I'll try reinstalling it again for whatever it's worth. No luck I can repeat it every time only in standby mode if I hold down the channel button on my Verizon fios remote the xmc shuts down with 3.1a installed.

If you received your XMC from Nov. 2014 up to now, then your unit has the updated files already.
I was an "early" adopter, so my unit has the original files installed.

Quick question about the thumb drives... There is a document with long instructions about formatting one's USB drive on a MAC before using it for the update, but I am not sure whether it applies to me, although I do use a MAC. Yes, I use a Mac (actually, many mac computers), but I have never specifically formatted any thumb drives with them. The USB drives I buy tend to come pre-formatted for both Macs and PCs, so I use them on both my macs and pcs without necessarily getting them formatted by any of my computers... So do those instructions for Mac Users apply to me?
Should I go through the process of reformatting the USB drive for the update even if I have not necessarily had it formatted by a MAC (I mean that I have used it on my Mac before, as I have on my windows pc, but without necessarily having it formatted prior to its use in either case)

It only contains the one file I'm updating, not any other update files (per Emotiva). I do store the backup of my config on it but then move it to my laptop. To answer your question, it certainly won't hurt to format the drive, just in case. But I'm sure other Mac users will chime in with their input.

Just the initial format is needed IMHO.

I'm going to ask a question that shows how much of a computer noob I am but how does one format a thumb drive? I think it's a good idea to have only the needed file on the thumb drive and no other files for safety sake.

I think it's a good idea to have only the needed file on the thumb drive and no other files for safety sake. While you have the USB plugged into a port on your computer just "right click" on that drive in Windows Explorer, or in Windows 10, "File Explorer" and choose "Format", then choose the proper "File System" in this case "Fat 32" and then click on "Start". After it's done you're good to go.
