For those who have heard 3.0.6, how does it compare to 3.0.5? Have 3.0.5 and it’s great, but curiosity calls…

As I said it’s not a change in tonal balance. It’s a change in noise that you (and many others) may perceive as a change in tonal balance, i.e. it’s not a purposeful or reproducible change except for the similar changes wrought by lowering noise with each release.

What a pity that there’s nothing heard except „better“ from those with the best chance to compare with a parallel set of DS DAC‘s, one of the most revealing setups and some of the best ears…PSAudio folks. Even if it would be just an opinion affecting a specific setup…we only hear any concrete descri…

I am listening to 3.0.6. For the first time at this moment. I listened to 3.0.5 for an hour and now 3.0.6. I will not use the term better, or worse. It is obviously different to my ears. I am guessing that anyone jumping from 3.0.0 to 3.0.6 would be in for a shock as they are so very different. To …

So, after living with 3.0.6 for a bit, I’ve switched back to 3.0.0. In my system, I found 6 to lack energy in the frequency spectrum that brings life to music. I noticed right away with 6 that voices were soft and somewhat overwhelmed by other sounds, and initially thought that was more “natural” i…

@brett66 , [image] brett66: Hmm, the modify and create date of the fpg13919.hex file is the same in all the earlier Snowmass builds I kept but it’s newer in 3.0.6. Though I also performed a txt compare of 3.0.0 vs. 3.0.6 fpg file and they are the same. Thank you for posting the historical ve…

Fair enough. But that explanation, however true, exposes a problem for the user, and presumably developer, when within the same overall firmware version the the resulting sound of each seemingly unrelated change turns out to be potluck.

I am very proud of our team. They put the customer first - and our customers are always the end users. Some companies place their dealers in that position, figuring end users are the dealer’s customers, but we’ve never thought that way. Dealers are intermediaries to end users and end users are our …

@Paul - if you want to get a snapshot what a company’s leadership believes, interface with all employees. A leader sets culture, how the customer is treated, what the employees believe, how they act, behaviors, it all comes from the leader. This is what makes your company unique, the reason this com…

It’s only potluck if you get tied up in details but those details are small compared to the changes from release to release: substantive changes in the code have the expected changes in the sound. I don’t think most would say that from release to release the DS has had only random changes in sound…
