What week of October was the last year's update?

Are you talking about firmware update ?

Don’t know if there was one in October, there have been 4 upgrades since the players first came out

Yes, it’s sounds like a solder joint inside the plug. The plug look great, and I have not seen counterfeit furutech 4.4mm , yet...don’t know if there are.

Have you tried other 4.4mm plugs ? If problems don’t exist, it is your cable plug solder joint

Yes the Sony MUC-M12SB1. Thanks. Trying it now. Not able to replicate that problem. It just happens 2-3 times a month.

Should be identical

hmmm i have been told by a friend that the international model sounds veiled as compared to the Japanese domestic sales model. Is there anyone who can verify/debunk ? Am thinking of getting it.

Don’t know if anybody has access to both models and with similar levels of burn in

Makes no sense for Sony to create different versions from a hardware perspective. Firmware, on the other hand. can vary due to regulatory reasons for the respective market. Perhaps your friend was comparing two different firmware versions.

As far as I know there is only one firmware for the whole world but the region code decides the feature set for each region

The next thing you can do is to ask whoever provided you that cables, to take a look at the solder joints perhap ? Has the MUC-M12SB1 ever encountered the problem ?

Probably he meant the older version vs newer ? There were changes in the sounds

Nope no problem at all but only used them like 2 months.

Definitely ask the cable maker to check out the solder joints. Or open it and look ? I would think that it is more like a solder joints

Ah yes. The sound did change with fw 2.0

Don't know what to lookout for. Eye sight not good. See more detail in photo than my own eyes.

I see warranty seal. That is fine, turn around so I can see the solder from wires to the joints, take a few more angled pictures. Focus on the lower part of it, toward the bottom on your picture

Here you go.

Cold solders do happen. If it can happen in semiconductor manufacturing, it can happen any where.
