The version posted is not the force load version.
Force load firmware can be installed on almost all of our products so it would be possible to accidentally put for example, DMP firmware on a DSD DAC.
As such we do not post it on the site to prevent any mishaps like that from happening.
If you would like a forceload version please reach out to us at service@psaudio.com and we’ll be happy to get those files emailed to you ASAP.
I noticed before anyone asked that this is not a force load. I know how to modify the loader to make it so if I should need to. I was curious if the issue with the Dimmer affecting the sound in the DAC is also the case with the DMP. I have always set the brightness lower as full on is way too bright. If the code for the DAC PIC is modified to adjust the brightness at a lower frequency will that same programming be done to the DMP load?
Much improved. In a quick test, everything worked well. Screen 2 (with larger cut number) has timeline progress bar but no times (as it has on first screen progress bar.) I only so far tried CD. It’ll be such a relief to turn it on and not just hope all will work! It did take three tries to load from same FW on SD card, but third time was the charm. Thank you all. This dramatically improves my listen. I’ve been gun shy for years as I once had an amp blow out with drama on turn on. The iffy nature of the earlier firmware brought that fear back. Now, without psychiatric help, I can settle in and enjoy!
Oh nuts! Letting a CD play… screen stuck on cut 2. FWIW, I had skipped to track 2 as I didn’t wish to hear the first track. This is the little cut number screen.
I had a wild idea. Hit pause on remote. It didn’t pause but now shows correct track.
3.10 - installation without problems. SACD - turns on quietly. Blu-ray Audio - does not switch tracks. SQ - there is no charm like 3.06. I remain at 3.06.
Though I feel that’s a question you should answer for yourself without pre-whatever, I’m listening to an SACD of Kind of Blue (mostly because it happened to be sitting there) and it sounds great. Does it sound better than back in “.09”? Don’t know.
And it is displaying the correct DSD rate and so on, rather than a PCM value.
Software loaded OK.
Long track titles are still getting chopped (it wasn’t on the fixed list).
COLD PLAY “A Head Full Of Dreams” got to track 11 and just stopped playing.
Pressing Play with disc tray open does not cause CD to start playing, it just causes the tray to close (despite what the fixed issues list says).
Loaded 3.10 a little over an hour ago in only a couple of minutes. Listened to a Hayden Piano Trio–sounded wonderful. And no problems with control functions. Now looking forward to the DSD upgrade.
I hear you. I can’t listen now because wife and son are around (I listen at loud levels) . I will definitely check it out for myself. I just wondered if anyone else had any thoughts.
Loaded 3.10 without any trouble.
Due to the problems I encountered with 3.09 I had to roll back to 3.07, so the jump in sound from 3.07 to 3.10 is ‘significant’!
I had problems with CDs: Tavener - Eternity’s Sunrise . Mozart Clarinet Concerto K622 in A Major. Tom Waits – Mule Variations. Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers At Birdland . Andy Fairweather Low And The Low Riders – Live From The New Theatre, Cardiff.
When I played said CDs the DMP would lock up and the only way to stop the music was to flick the rear switch then power cycle/reboot. Just hope I am not speaking too soon - but they are all playing perfectly now, and I have never heard them sound this good - Pre 3.10!
DMP is functioning ‘much better’ to all I ask of it… The CD doesn’t start playing when the tray closes - but works fine when I press play. Not something that would bother me.
I will see how it plays out over the coming days and just hope and pray this is it, no more locking up whilst playing SACDs & CDs.
