Next DSD firmware update in 2020 or 2021?

It was untrue at the time he wrote it as well, but it remains an amusing saying.

Here is a much more accurate saying:

ā€œCorrelation does not imply causation.ā€

I think it was more true back in the day of classical music than the other genres.

I donā€™t think the phrase/saying was uttered in a literal sense. Rather I think it was meant as an observation/lament regarding recording performances/productions that were not up to snuff. :man_shrugging:

Well, if you had heard him speak in person at a show like I did, I think youā€™d feel differently.

Iā€™ll take your word for it. But, Iā€™ll say this, it strikes me as an inane thing to say and mean it literally.

Cheers.

I agree with you on that point.

Poor recording, or bad performance?

This thread is getting juicy.

Superb recording and mastering but poor music (in terms of musicality) for my taste.

I assume with Covid, Ted has plenty of time to tweak his amazing firmware to better the DS DAC yet once again. After this year, that would be an AMAZING gift!

When Ted brings a new update to improve the already great DSD performance that will be a great gift and a substantial COVID survival tool!

Do we really want to tempt fate in 2020 with a firmware update? I wouldnā€™t want my Directstream Dac to explode!

I just swapped out my DSD DAC for an Aesthetix Pandora Eclipse DAC. Iā€™m not thinking Iā€™m swapping back. Holy Molly! WOW!!

Nice. Iā€™m a big fan of Aesthetix products. Itā€™s great when you find the product that works for you in your setup! Congrats.

Iā€™ve used the DSD for the past 4 years. Every update is complete. Itā€™s a great DAC. I will keep it and use in my office I guess.

How about a virtual head massage for Ted to squeeze out some firmware? We must do something!

Yes.

Itā€™s been over a year now after the last update.

A new one would be nice
