New Vivaldi software imminent
I was told by my local dealer that a new firmware and software for the dCS Vivaldi system will be released around Christmas time.
This is a major upgrade of the existing system. One of the main features is the ability to control CD transport using ipad apps. I am keeping a close eye on the release date. All Vivaldi users would be pleased to know that. |

After 3 tries to fix my Puccini and having to deal with surly people I would not deal with DCS again. Now you have 100k worth of gear they can't sort out.
