dcs puccini software upgrade


hi. i am a puccini owner and believe that "newer" is not always "better." for this reason i haven't installed the new software. forgive me if i have missed this in a prior thread but has anyone either: (1) had a chance to compare the puccini, pre- and post- software upgrade, if so how does it sound? Or (2) know where the details of the software upgrade are outlined? (couldn't find it on dcs website)

thank you and best wishes!

I had the upgrade applied. I believe it has to do enabling certain inputs and changing the characteristcs of the display. I noticed no audible difference. They are really good about communicating. If you pose your question on their web site, they will respond.
When I bought my Puccini, it had version 1.12

I upgraded to 1.20, and felt that there were some issues with it; not bugs, rather, the sound was not as good.

This was rectified by version 1.21, which I was happy with.

I have now upgraded to 1.30. I don't know what upgrades I have missed. This one simply enables 24/192 through the digital inputs.

However, presumably it adds any other changes between 1.21 and 1.30. There may be no changes to the sound quality, so perhaps it is only my imagination which makes me think that there is an audible improvement in sound quality.
