I would have expected a bigger deal to be made about it on the Rio Audio website, which is where I checked.

Well, it's all a bit embarrassing. We had to update the Cali firmware for some new type of flash chip (that's what's up with the black joystick: it's tech support's clue that it's a different board design), and the plan was to roll out MSC for old Calis at the same time as the new Cali. But we got a bit overcommitted on other projects, so never got round to MSC for old Cali. Meanwhile, the only code that worked on new Cali was the new MSC stuff. So we had to put out the rather schizophrenic firmware update you now see on Rio's site, which upgrades old Calis to the latest non-MSC firmware (1.x) and new Calis to the latest MSC firmware (2.x). Under those circumstances it'd be confusing as all hell if we said "Cali now supports MSC", so we deliberately aren't saying that.
