As HasturYellow said some pages back it's just little display changes
is there a new firmware out?

Doesn't affect performance, so we are not making it available as a download, but all current shipping HA-1 and any repaired HA-1 will have the 1.3.3 firmware installed.
I have high hopes that features will be added to the firmware. Most wanted for me is a way to better match headphone and rear output levels so what's 'loud' for my PM-2s doesn't explode my speakers when I switch. It seems like something more concise than just norm/hi for the ha would be nice, like fine tuning output to rear. Or a switchable option to have inserting headset kill the rear output. With the large volume disparity, I'm pretty nervous I'll accidently un-mute (so, normally take the step of turning off my amp, which I'd rather leave on) Also, themes for the display, especially larger VU meters (or at least needles visible from 8 feet!).
Great product (or we wouldn't want more out of it!)

Simply gorgeous! I love the simplicity of the Mac and the understatement of the headphones. Adds class and sense of assertion.
Just curious, do you believe in cable burnin? And if yes, how long do you pipe signal through till you feel it's ready?
That makes no sense at all. Why should other people get it if we don't? We bought the product before they did so why not just put the firmware for us to download?
Actually, it may make sense. If it truly doesn't improve the performance of your unit (the firmware may be to match a new internal part that you don't even have), it's the same reason computer companies warn you not to update the bios of your computer unless you need to: a failed firmware installation may brick your device and require a trip to the shop.

As Dougr33 already stated, anytime that you upgrade the brains of the hardware by upgrading the firmware, you run the risk of having the software fail due to some kind of upgrade failure. So there is no reason to upgrade the firmware of the HA-1 if there are no performance benefits other than slight changes in the size of the volume graphics and a spelling mistake.
