Ambitious as the t950 is with all the surround formats, I agree that not making provisions for an update is a design (marketing $$ ?) error. Popping, slow acquisition time, problems with certain DVD’s/hardware combos, Dolby Labs messing with the EX spec., I think all pre/pro manufactures have required more than one try to get it right. I just received my Anthem AVM20 that replaced the demo I had, it was delivered with version 1.16 software. The demo was a December build, at version 1.0, I think the 1.16 is the sixth version, not the 16th, but that is still about one a month…
