I picked up new cables the same day but made sure to listen for a few hours to the new board before swapping cables.

One warning, there’s a glitch in my new board - when I engage the tone controls, the right channel drops considerably, almost muting. I tried all the tricks: re-pairing the remote, resetting the balance, holding the balance button for 10 seconds, etc., but it appears to be a problem with the board - maybe just mine, but don’t know that yet. I called my dealer on Saturday evening and am still waiting to hear back. I’m not out of commission, since I don’t use the tone controls very often, but it will be a pain if I have to pull it back out of the rack and drive to Seattle again.

I "thought" that the tone update did not relate to the tone controls. I must be wrong. If it only impacts those controls I might pass on the update. Like you I have hardly ever touched them. The times I want to boost the mid-bass region I have just used Roon.

Keep us posted.
