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 …

Re debug screens: one of the screen’s shows the raw communication registers from the FPGA to the control/display processor - things like which inputs are active, the current sample rate, bit width, format, etc. Leaving that one up will interfere a little with the sound. The other debug screen test…

If a device that works over I2S with DSD64 and DSD128 claims to support DSD256 it probably does and it will very probably work with DS software that supports DSD256.

I reported earlier in this thread volume reduced to 50 seemingly randomly. Reloaded Windom from SD card again and no recurrence since…

[image] RJ: I can summarize my feelings about Windom in two words. Shock and Awe. I feel like Paul misled us with his hype about Windom. He said it’s not as big of an improvement as Snowmass, but brings a smoothness and richness to the sound. Smoothness and richness doesn’t begin to describe …

High praise, indeed. [Paul is always underselling. I just take his muted marketing style with a grain of salt. :wink:]

I AGREE with Gary_M in capital letters. I posted a positive review earlier in this thread but need to say more, Windom brings life to the music in such a genuine way that to me, it sounds like the absolute best sounding upgrade improvement since I bought DSJ with Yale. I know I know, we often have …

Today just a few minutes ago, I installed Windom in 5 minutes-action without the slightest problem. DS Sr was also quick with the update routine. Then I listened to a bunch of pieces which I have heard shortly before with the same settings. I thought Snowmass 306 can hardly be outbid - and now surpr…

I assume you have a Junior. My Junior did this and a few more random issues. I worked with PS Audio and could not resolve it… I threw in the towel and used their generous upgrade program and purchased a Senior. I don’t believe your issue is related to this software version (assuming you have a Ju…

I installed Windom on Wednesday morning on my DS Sr. without any problems. (I was upgrading from Snowmass 3.06, and Snowmass is the only version I have previously had on the DAC.) after reading all of the comments from other users about whether they had a “good” install or a “bad” install, I though…

Very excited to try this new release out this weekend. Many thanks to Ted, Paul and the rest of the PS Audio community!
