Helix Sound upgrade dongle official rental thread!

PM'd kind sir
I programmed the unit today so its ready to ship to next person.
I was kinda skeptical that this thing would work even though everyone said it would. but, it sounds awesome! I didn't spend too much time listening, but pretty much every aspect of it was improved after programming. Tighter bass, better mids and highs, improved soundstage... I think the volume is louder overall as well.
Anyways I would definitely do this all over. Its even worth the original price in the $500 range I think.

To be transparent and update everyone I had the dongle shipped to my office because there are too many package thieves around my home area and I didn't want to put it at risk.
USPS showed the package was received by the USPS facility here in town, however it came to them just before noon. My employer's delivery people (it's a big company) had already done their USPS from that facility pickup earlier in the day so it wasn't gotten by my employer today. They will get it Monday and will take a day to sort and distribute to my building so I should have it in my hands Tuesday.
There are two other forum members who are local to me, one of whom was already on the list in this thread, who need to program. So we three will aim to get this all wrapped up by the end of next weekend so that I can ship out to the next person the following Monday.
While it's a slight delay I'd rather be safe than sorry and kill 2 birds with one stone by taking a couple other renters off the list. Thanks.

I will be installing my Helix system this weekend or next. I am in the Cary area and work in RTP, so let me know when you get the dongle back.

Will do. I have 9 on my list right now. I'm down in Garner.
I'll put you on the list so it will get to you.

Received the dongle today. As I said I'll be meeting up with 2 other forum members over the course of the week and then getting it out to the next person as soon as I can, hopefully by next Monday.
Thanks.
Thanks.
