Hi, I'm curious if most BDP-1 owners are using the latest version of Manic Moose or if there is a sweet spot of an older version that is stable, has most of the features needed, and yet is less taxing of an operating system on the processor.

Thanks!

Hi Jim,

I used BDP-1 for 6 yrs, with Moose. Never the most recent version.
It's just me -- paranoid. 
Still use an older version of MM on my BDP-2 (IAD).

I do test the latest releases on a BDP-1 and before the pandemic I had a BDP-1 running in my home office that I would use regularly.  I do get a fair number of requests from BDP-1 customers when the latest features either don't work well aren't available, enough that I usually give in and spend weeks making changes to make these features less resource intensive to work better on the old hardware.  With that said the newer software is slow on the BDP-1, particularly of it needs to go and out get something from the internet and I find I need to reboot the unit about once a week.

Finding the latest version of Manic Moose has fixed an issue for playing and outputting native DSD from BDP3 to a McIntosh DAC.
Prior to the update the McIntosh DAC would always display PCM now it reports DSD 64.
Thank you Chris.
