Mac users who get the code from Ted: You may need the free WinZip for Mac utility to extract the .bin file. Sucessfully loaded and have sound again.

Hereās the 2.3.0 code.
You should only need this if your Mk II has NOT been upgraded and it doesnāt have sound after installing 2.3.3. If you received your unit in the last few days it probably has sound and you donāt need this release.

To be clear for everyone, by āupgradedā, you mean that if:
- Someone received their MKII in the first round, and it was sent back for repair.
- If you are only just this week receiving your MKII for the first time.
Correct?
Hi Steve, I received mine back yesterday and has been working perfectly after the fix. I have about 16 hours on it.

Thatās fantastic, Thank you!
Thanks Ted to save a rainy weekend in CA
Sorry, I seem to be having some MS vs Apple trouble here. The zip file downloads as a .bin file and cannot open on my Mac. Havenāt found the cheat for this. Tried 2 browsers.
I am logged into OneDrive as an MS Office user.
badbeef recommended the WinZip for Mac utility above.

If it arrives as a bin then something in between has already unzipped it (extensions in browsers or user desktops often do this).
The bin file is not intended to be opened on a pc or a Mac, but copied to a usb stick, so the usb stick can then be plugged into the DAC to allow the upgrade operation to be initiated.

2.33 audio I2S 1. Yea!
Note both transport and dac claim 44.1/24 on screensā¦? Cd playing.
Usb file doesnāt seem to work. On the usb I simply copied a cd onto the blank drive.

You should follow the directions in the email that was sent by Aaron yesterday.
If you download the file from OneDrive from Ted above, it should unzip itself. If you received the file from him via email, it may not. The āimage.binā file is the one you want, as joma notes above. This applies to Mac users.

Just a little PSA for Beta Testers.
When upgrading the firmware Iāve found the following:
- USB 3.0 Flash Drives donāt seem to work
Iāve tested:
- a Sandisk 16 GB USB 3.0 (formatted with FAT32, double-checked)
- a Samsung 32 GB USB 3.0 (formatted with FAT32, double-checked)
Both resulted in no automatic FW update, and no FPGA bitstreams show up in the menu.
When I swapped to a USB 2.0 stick everything worked without a hitch.
Perhaps the instructions should be updated to reflect this requirement.
This little old gem did the trick (Amazon Link):

Perfect, and thanks. I was looking for an unzipped folder, not a file. Never had just one file from PSA on an update.
Accidental discovery: the file was unzipping on download, putting image.bin into Downloads (as @badbeef described). Then the zip file was being put into Trash - all 8 of them 
. Accidentally discovered because Spotlight desktop search does not search Trash. I was searching on the name of the zip file not knowing the content name(s).
Noting the Mac still thinks that the .bin file is an archive and is trying to decompress it on command Open. Hope thatās not a formatting issue for the MKII.
I think all is working now via SACD transport, usb thumb w cd album on it also plays. 2.33/1.78
I think I noticed when choosing I2s1 that you also have to hit input 1 on remote. No audio for me until I hit that, but I had been bopping among screens and inputs and may have necessitated input 1 activation. But if you have no audio on 12s 1, try that.
Will burn in and report back. Out of the box and doing no critical listening seems to be same sound as dac1ā¦ so far.
āPerhaps the instructions should be updated to reflect this requirement.ā
My sentiments exactly.
Thanks for your experimenting and passing on your findings to us all !
