I guess i will try without the SSD to do the update but thats getting to the point of wanting a return as i dont wanna be doing that everytime if thats somehow the issue.
I have raised a ticket, waiting for the Denon guys to get back to me, hopefully I can get a positive resolution as I have worked hard to convince my local pioneer fanboys to convert over but this rather throws a spanner in the works
Ive had mine back twice and yeah it’s a pain, but it’s fixed now and has been for well over a year. I just have a little Numark controller as backup now in case I have to do it again.
update for anyone with similiar issue, removing the SSD and trying the process again did not resolve the issue. Looks like the only option is warranty procedure with your place of purchase as I will be returning the product in the coming days.
