Alright, we’ve gotten the bugs worked out of the PIC, FPGA 19 version of Snowmass is wooing us with its sweetness and openness and, well, I won’t wax too much here. Suffice it to say this is the single biggest upgrade to DirectStream in the 5 year history of the product. DSJ upgrade for Snowmass will follow shortly after we confirm everything’s good here. I will forward the code to as many of the beta testers as possible before I have to scoot this evening. Please post your impressions here. ---

Hi guys. I got my link to the firmware from paul. Much thanks. I am not able to get to my system at the moment to test it but in the meantime I have to ask, i have a dsj so is this firmware applicable to both the dsj and the ds? I would email Paul directly but I imagine he’s suffering an avalanche of emails atm! ---

That’s exactly what it is. It’s like RedCloud on steroids. ---

Exactly. And not to say there is not energy, there is. But instead of hitting you on the head it glows from within. I am listening to a massive Bach cantata. The music unrolls and presents itself. The depth is incredible. ---

Yes! The detail is quite a bit more pronounced all while being elegant. It’s one of the things that makes the DS so special. 3d is spooky! ---

I had a little trouble with the SD card not working. Then I reloaded Torry. And then reinserted Snowmass and it now works fine. First impression, much wider soundstage. ozzy ---

Agreed, wider - and for me even more exciting, deeper. ---

I hear wider and deeper, especially deeper. I agree with elegant and intimate descriptors. I think it bests my favorite HPQe filter. Awesome Ted! [Next page](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/snowmass-directstream-sr-upgrade-available-in-the-downloads-section/7705.md?page=2)
