Since people have been fishing for information about the FPGA changes in the upcoming software release for the DS and DS Jr I thought I’d start a separate thread to avoid hijacking other threads. I don’t know PS Audio’s release schedule and can’t guess because I have no idea what else they will be …

@weedeewop My unit has about 750 hrs. on it running almost 24/7. The top end sounds relaxed to my ears (they are 60+ yrs old ears). However I don’t have a vinyl rig for comparison.

Difference between Snowmass (my favoured case 3.06) and Windom is immediate and (very) noticeable.

So, I’m not sure if the reload/Huron/Windom was necessary or if it was the extra file …

over lunchtime placed the Snowmass 306 unzipped files into a folder named Snowmass 306 on SD card that came with the DSD SR.and placed unzipped Windom files in the root directory. powered on from switch on back with SD card inserted fully. Initialization bar took quite a while to get all the way …

I’ve had Windom on for about six hours today while working from home. The main thing I’m noticing is that the sound is a little less bright and clinical than Snowmass. Or to describe it another way, more relaxed and easygoing, not so uptight. (I am trying to avoid saying it sounds more analog-lik…
