Howdy folks, Snowmass 3.06 is now live. You can find it here under the Downloads tab. This version fixes issues some folks encountered when playing files from Linux based servers over USB. Happy listening!

This update doesn’t intentionally alter the sound. Its purpose is to fix a problem that was impacting people who use Linux-based transports (and I think only those connected via USB?). Any audible changes are accidental side-effects resulting from different electrical behaviours of supporting chips …

OK. I think it might be intriguing to do a poll for people to vote on which of the build versions they liked the best for music…Is there a general consensus?

Hi folks, Long time off the forum. Just to give some positive feedback on the update process. Last time I updated the DSJ (USB stick) to 2.01, I had to go back to Yale > Snowmass. This time, using the 2.01 SM, just inserted the USB stick with the 2.02 SM files, fired the DSJ up, and voilá. Altho…
