When is the new firmware coming out?
Any tips on what it may fix?

Mine hasn't been able to make coffee on the 1.2.7 and 1.3.7 firmwares, maybe they'll finally take care of that!
I've noticed every firmware inflicts with the sound. Do yu think this firwmare will change the sound?
I hope, they mess only with SW part, cause for me 1.3.7 is better than 1.2.7. It has more natural sounding, but the main reason is that 1.3.7 has better attack and punching (impulse). If we are talking about detail and natural sound (not beatiful, tasty or other words), the choice is obvious here. It is 1.3.7.
Listening to The Black Album in 24/96 on my DX100 with the R1 and my 8.A... I'm amazed how well this 22 year old album holds up.
Hey Soren, do you listen to The Eagles?
I discovered that the more recent versions of the Hell Freezes Over concert DVD contain uncompressed 2-channel PCM audio tracks in addition to the DTS and Dolby Digital tracks.
I managed to extract the uncompressed 2-channel tracks from the DVD into FLAC files. Viewing the signal levels through playback software such as Fidelia, it is stunning just how the uncompressed tracks differ from the kinds of dynamic range compressed mainstream stuff we get nowadays.
It took a while to get used to how much less "loud" the songs are, compared to realising how much more dynamic range they have.

For a moment I thought you were referring to the Black Album by The Damned. But then I realised that it was issued more like thirty two years ago - hell did that make me feel old!
I'd love a high res copy of that album!
I'm not a fan per se, but we all have Hotel California on our short-list of test tracks, don't we?
