It must be possible to do this, because it has a RS-232 port on it. I also own a TAE-9000ES home digital preamp and I have upgraded it form version 1.10c to 1.18c , 2.01c and finally to version 2.50. It sounds better and has more functionality. So I hope Sony has the same for the XDP-4000X.

To be upgradeable the firmware in the XDP would have to be on flash ROM or something similar. It may be that the firmware is on permanent hardware and not changeable without actually changing out chips in the unit. However, even assuming it was flash upgradeable, I don't think there has ever been any updates released to the general public or otherwise--though I could be wrong.

We are stuck with what we have - well Phatbox has gratiously added ONE option for us, but nothing new will happen to this top-notch set-up. Oh well, once these units get old and start to have major problems, I will just go to Alpine's F-1 since Sony doesn't support our kind of products anymore. Do they miss us? Not for a second...Xplod is probably much more profitable for them.
