My bryston bda3 is currently at firmware u2020.07a . I beleive there is a newer firmware file for this bda3 . Do i just go the latest release or do i have to update the firmware in 2 steps ? Firmware changelog would be nice . Thanks Darrell

Hi Darrell!

Is there a particular reason you want to update the F/W? Typically, this would be done if the device had a problem. Because Bryston DACs are pretty straightforward and don't offer much in terms of selectable filters that could be added with F/W updates, I see no reason in updating it. Also, there is risk involved - if there's a sudden power outage or the cable is disconnected during an update, the device would be due for a repair.

FWIW.

Cheers,
Antun

Usually a firmware update is to add features or fix bugs . Would probably want to see the firmware changelog first and then decide whether or not to update the firmware . Darrell
