Warning, Oppo firmware update almost blew my speakers...

Hi-Rez Highway

New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Just got home, turned on the system to play Comcast jazz through the 105 as I usually do. The Oppo said found firmware, so I let it install. After it rebooted, I selected my input and it kicked in with 100% volume.
I couldn't use the remote fast enough, I dived for the amp power switch and prayed :(

The dog freaked out, my ears rang for a few minuets, then I lowered the volume on the remote to my usual 20%, turned the amp back on, and prayed for the speakers again. They seem ok, they are playing as I type, I think all drivers survived.

How could Oppo engineer this dangerous download. I don't remember this happening on past updates, but maybe the system was hooked up differently so I didn't notice. I am just so happy my Tannoys are ok.
