Modding the DirectStream DAC MKI

[jazznut]

Those were not exactly the occasions I looked for, but they also describe a bit of it:

Does the DirectStream DAC need to be rebooted every so often?

I know that my computer, iPhone and iPad all seem to benefit from being restarted. With the DSD being a computer-based device, should it too be rebooted once in a while?

Snowmass 3.0.5 vs. 3.0.6

I listed the ones I know about - basically the UI code is a more fragile than it should be, I’d say especially when the Bridge is involved. There’s a whole lot less hardware with state in the DS than in the DMP where his coding was a much more serious problem. If the control processor code gets stuck in any loop, hard spin, recurring interrupt, etc. the memory pattern becomes much more regular and hence any generated noise gets more colored and perhaps goes from unnoticeable whitish noise to a…

But somewhere Ted also spoke of FPGA related needs to reboot occasionally.

There were again other reboot related topics around firmware installs, but that’s not what I mean.
