CDUpdate – Software Update By CD
Current software for dCS Elgar Plus, Elgar, Delius or Purcell and all Verdi, La
Scala or Verona software features a CD Update menu page. You can update
the software inside any of these products loaded with CD Update software
quickly and easily from a CD supplied by dCS.
IMPORTANT! Please follow the latest update instructions supplied with the CD. The
following is for guidance only.
You will need a standard CD Transport, a CD player or a dCS Verdi to play the
CD. A few CD players are not suitable because they upsample to 48kS/s or
change some of the data bits in other ways (one example is the ML37). Don’t
worry - the CD Update routine detects these and stops, preventing any changes
to the internal software.
If you are updating a dCS Upsampler or DAC:
do this: Connect an AES or RCA digital output from the Transport to the Upsampler or
DAC and select the input you have just connected. Disconnect any 1394
interface cables.
