I think I'll just wait six months before I jump into this pond. I'm very happy with my system as is.

I have just upgraded my Vivaldi firmware to V1.10. It took almost 60 minutes to upgrade one piece, so a complete 4 pieces upgrade took a whole afternoon.
the main advancement is the come back of the "easy play" function in the Verdi/Elgar system. When you are playing music from CAS and you play a disc in the transport, the system will automatically switch to disc. What's more is when you play SACD, it selects AES 1 + 2 from transport to DAC, when you play standard CD, it auto selects to AES 3 + 4 via upsampler. As for the sound, I don't have time to listen carefully but it was claimed by dCS that there is improvement due to better synchronization with the upgraded clock firmware. I shall try it out in the next few days. |

Listen to the new firmware for a while, there is obvious improvement. It is a better clock performance that brings the better sound.
Since I have not changed anything, just a software upgrade, the improvement is easy to spot. Anyone using Vivaldi should ask for the upgrade discs now. |

I have no transport. I presume you can update from a laptop? Anyone tried it with a Mac. I abandoned Windows a long time ago and don't have any of it in the house.

Last time when I had updated the software, I did not have the Vivaldi transport (now I have full stack) I had used Oppo BDP-103 blu-ray player with PCM setting on, so you may just try using or sourcing a similar unit perhaps.
