I just received this back from tech support.  Not exactly what I was hoping for.

Hello,

The new firmware provides a more stable platform for end users.

Nice to know the firmware makes it less likely to tip over

Okay dokey then, with a response like that I'm not motivated to install it. At least you got a response, I'm still waiting to hear back. If they respond I'll share the info here.

Just ain't the same company anymore since D&M Holdings sold them. That is just unacceptable customer support when there are other manufacturers with exceptional support out there. Yeah it's a legacy product but it is effectively the same as their current MKII model.

Thanks for passing along their response though.

Hi, so does anyone have any more information about 2.05?  I'm using 2.04 and having no issues so don't want to apply it if there's not a good reason.  Thanks.

I've been using 2.05 since November without any problems but never did get any kind of hint from Marantz what was in it.  I had really old firmware so this was a major update from me.  If I at 2.04 and having no issues I would probably stay with it.  That said it was a smooth and easy update.
