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 wil…

Thanks for the suggestion, Ted! I loaded Snowmass per your instructions, and so far the balance issue is fixed, plus I get the improved sound of the Snowmass update! I’m gonna try not to mess with this too much, and will post an update in the next week or so if all remains stable, which is what I ex…

Hi Ted: Is it possible to wipe the FPGA clean then reload Snowmass to a clean slate? Thanks in advance, Jay

The FPGA is “cleaned” anytime the system is powered off. Theoretically the flash ram used to hold the OS software can be cleaned if you have the hardware and the software to load it (unlikely) and any mistake and the unit would need to be sent to PS Audio.

Calling Snowmass v1, v2, etc. makes zero sense when v2 actually refers to 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, and now 3.05. Could PSA and everyone else please pick ONE name for each release and use only that name? Paul, I’m taking to you… (3.0x is the only designator that makes any sense.)

Hi Bootzilla, I looked up your system components. I was wondering: Why do you have the Matrix between your Melco and the DS…? Greetz, Ronald

Hey Ronald, see this topic :wink:

Hoi Wijber, But why not connect the Melco directly to the DS. Is the Matrix being used as reclocker…? Or is it just a better USB to “something else” converter…?

Don’t know exactly why but the Matrix does miracles to the DSsr. Just look around the PSA forum for more information and experiences. ● X-SPDIF 2 USB Audio Class 2.0 is a new designed asynchronous data transmission digital interface, which inherited the high quality of last generation to make it co…

The Matrix seems to be slightly better than the stock Singxer Su1. I’m hopefully placing an order for a Singxer Su6 today though. I have owned a Singxer SU1 with the DC power mod which worked really well with the Directstream Junior via I2S. I then sold it (mistake) and got a Gustard U16 based on va…

Please let us know what you think of the Singxer SU6. At this moment I own a Singxer SU1 (Magnafied) in combination with a DSJ
