Playback Designs Firmware Update

Have any of the PD MPS-5 owners installed this update yet? Jonathan Tinn told me that it'll further improve the MPS-5's redbood CD playback. (I considered this a strength already, so I'm amazed that I might gain more in this area). I'm travelling now and plan to install it when I get home this weekend, but I'm interested to read what my compardres heard when they installed this firmware.

I did the update 18 and took the unit to the Pacific NW Audio Society meeting. There were several hi-rez sources we listened to. The other high-end DAC we were comparing it to was the Weiss Minerva. I felt the MPS-5 was slightly bettered at RBCD/96k/192k.
Jonathan called last night and told me about the new update (19) and behold... the MPS-5 is now back on top!
There's nothing better in this industry than great customer support. Even with my EMM Labs equipment, Andreas has bent over backwards for us.
