7. Firmware update Windows and OS X

The current revision of the Liberty 

DAC  firmware  is  shown  in  the 

MytekControl „General” tab.

• 

The firmware can be updated by using USB2 port and Mytek Control Panel application. It requires 

already  installed  USB2  driver  (PC  only)  and  Mytek  Contro  Panel  application.  To  download  the 

current firmware as well as drivers please visit mytekdigital.com

• 

It is recommended to turn off any powered speakers / power amps connected to the Liberty DAC 

before proceeding with the firmware update.

Follow the steps below to update the firmware:
1. 

Download the latest firmware (*.mfb) file from mytekdigital.com

2. 

Click „Load firmware file” button and browse to the new firmware file then click „Open”.

3. 

Press the „Update” button to confirm uploading the firmware file to device's memory.

4. 

Confirm your choice by clicking „Yes” when warning dialog appears. A progress bar will  indicate 

when the flash process is finished.

5. 

When the update is finished the the DAC will reset and start in sleep mode. To switch it on press 

the knob once. Once the DAC has been restarted the firmware update is complete. A reboot of 

the computer is not necessary.

When the update fails:

1. 

Disconnect power cord.

2. 

2. Press and hold the knob and connect the power cord again.

3. 

The DAC runs in Bootloader mode. The MQA/DSD becomes white and blinks constantly. 

4. 

The update process should then be tried again.
