Thank you @tedsmith for your hard work! Just updated to Antero. I can report that I heard a fuller bodied sound acrossed the spectrum. As if the volume control got raised about 1-2db? Overall great improvment.

Iām using a MAC, yet regardless of extractors utilized, cannot open the files.
Can anyone with a MAC, who successfully unzipped the files, share them (e.g., via Google Drive)?
Thank you,
Guy
Nice! We are hearing the same thing!

hmm, that means our system are probably voiced similarly. Now I need to take a closer look at it!
I just installed the Master fuse in P15. Frankly whatever I heard last night was all gone. The sound is better than 6 hours ago, but it is veiled and a bit harsh, and I expect a long break in on this one too.
Please post a screenshot of the folder and file to be unzipped,I have a suspectā¦
Thatās what I suspected and afraid ofā¦ sounds like a M-1 is a better candidate for my next tweak. The Gustard fuse is burning-in inside the P15, itās voiced inā¦ let me put it this way, itās like two Chefs, one is a chinese Si Chuang chef, he likes it spicy and everything has a bit of a fire, this is the Gustard. the other is like a good italian Chef, he prefers to let the ingredients do the talking/tasting, this is the SR Purple.
The Gustard can wow you on first listen, but for long listening sessions, Iād prefer the Purple or stock fuse. Your mileage would vary, but given how we are hearing the same things with the new FPGA codes, it would probably be your findings as well.

Thereās a minor problem with the first file in the Zip file (image.bin). It has extended date information that is invalid. Both the creation date and the last accessed date are set to 1/1 in the year 1601. (The values are set to zero.) This is probably outside the range that the MacOS file system accommodates and may cause problems on any operating system that isnāt Windows. Someone at PS Audio should probably rebuild the Zip file with a better Zip utility. If possible, simply leaving off the extended time stamps which are optional ā and unnecessary in this case.
In the meantime, as a workaround the files extract for me without incident using the Archive Utility which appears to ignore the extended time stamps. Just right click on the Zip file in Finder, select āOpen withā from the context menu, and then āArchive Utilityā from the list of options. This will create a folder with the same name as the Zip file, and put the extracted files into that folder.
Or, you could just download the files that someone kindly posted here in this topic.

If you email James he will send you the raw not zipped files via email.
Iām a little perplexed by the inability to unzip the files in the Apple world. As an experiment, I downloaded on my iPad, unzipped and emailed myself the unzipped files. Worked perfectly. Maybe, for those having problems, if you have portable iDevices, try it.
