Liking the new FW so far.

Just want to clarify, the convex button that's closer to the headphone jacks is supposed to be volume up and TCM correct? It sounds more detailed than the concave button.

The concave button is the UP button if I recall correctly.

tried the upgrade, starts to update (bar graph moves a bit), then it stops and I get error OxEE000003. Tried this multiple times, didn't make a difference, plugged into different usb ports, didn't make a difference. Oh well....

I had a problem with the Geek Out disconnecting before the upgrade too. 
 
I had to upgrade the firmware on a different machine. I don't know if that makes a difference, but I would try reinstalling the device drivers.

Concave (it dents inward like a cave) is volume down, or the button closest to the USB port.
Convex is volume up, or the button closest to the headphone ports.

Thanks for clarifying, thought I was crazy at first when what I thought was the FRM sounded better, but turns out it was the TCM after all lol.

Reinstalling which drivers? The upgrade? The original?

The new 2.23 drivers that LH released last week. 
 
Can you try with a different computer?

I was on the same boat!!

TCM is more detailed and extended in my opinion.

Upgraded without a hitch.  Like the TCM filtering as well. No more volume spikes.  Good job LH. Good job miceblue for the excellent tutorial. 
 
The only suggestion I have is to repurpose the blue LED that was used for the 3D as one of the new filter presets to identify which filter is activated (i.e. blue/TCM, white/FRM).

So the new firmware update itself introduces better optimisation for DSD loading to avoid pauses that some people experienced, as well as an optimised the 3L buffer whatever that is. Switching between the first and beta firmware, it made the music a little smoother-sounding.

Oh, I just found a bit of information about what the 3L buffer might be.

Precision Timing
In digital signal conversion, timing is everything! To ensure computer speed fluctuations would not influence Da Vinci, and that it would run at a constant speed, Light Harmonic developed a proprietary (and patent-pending) Three-Layer Buffer similar to the buffering technology many of today's high-speed computers employ. This is the first time such a design has been applied to audio.

I had no idea that was in the Geek Out.

I have upgraded my GO450 and GO1000 without any problems.  Looking forward to spending some time with the units this weekend.

Now you don't need a usb hub to use the geek out with cck and iphone!
