As noted in the owner's manual, there are two different sets of firmware for the QX-5 Twenty. The main firmware is updated by downloading a file from the Ayre website to your computer and then transferring it to the root directory of a thumbdrive formatted with FAT32.
Next put the unit in "Standby" and plug in the thumbdrive. When you come out of "Standby", the screen will ask if you want to proceed. Press the right-hand silver button for "Yes" and the left-hand silver button to cancel.
Once you have started the update, DO NOT interrupt anything or it could "brick" the unit. It's all in the owner's manual, which is also online.
The other firmware is just for the Ethernet module and it will automatically notify you when a new version is available - as long as you have an internet connection. Works pretty much the same way. The latest change for that added Qobuz, which is officially available in Europe only.
Hope this helps!
