My dealer charged me $1550 for the local upgrade of the electronics. When the dealer sent my unit in for the faceplate, it cost me another $780. I don't know what the MSRP is for these things. It's possible I was ripped off. I'm very happy with the sound. The 390s seemed much more dynamic and clearer than the 39. Any "dark Mark" veiling was certainly removed. I like it better than my SCD-1 on SACDs. The SCD-1 sounds more detailed, but the 390s is more dynamic and brighter without tipping up the treble.
