In Reply to: Warning, Oppo firmware update almost blew my speakers... posted by ABliss on January 15, 2014 at 18:20:05:
Several days ago I connected my "new" MAC Book Pro computer to the DAC in the Oppo 105 and heard a popping noise at the start of each album. Fortunately, my volume was very low (normal practice for me) and the pop caused no speaker problems.
I immediately called Oppo Digital who reports this happens when playing AIFF formatted albums (other formats may have similar problems). They are working on a fix it release to solve the issue.
As noted else where, it is very important to turn the volume down after a new software release is installed. I always lower my volume when first playing a disk. An Oppo beta release is available but I elected to hold for the official release due out shortly (I hope).
