How about a Windom update to distract us in our social isolation? ---

Wouldn’t that be cool? I’m not too sure what Ted’s been up to. ---

We need something to do when we get quarantined, Ted should know this. I’m in (I mean ready for an update!) 😉 ---

I could beta test!!! Lol. ---

It’s not Broken - I’m Happy. ---

No guess when one might come out, but in working on the input processing I found something that will probably increase sound quality a little. Once again it’s just moving when things happen in time without changing any results. ---

Hopefully, we’ll get DSD256 input on the next release! ---

I’m working on DSD256 over I2S right now. I’m reasonably sure that it will work, but I’m not done yet so we’ll see. ---

So possibly I2S but definitely not USB? ---

That sounds awesome Ted. Unfortunately, the Klugdefest I built in between the DSD Sr. and the Sony UBP-X1000ES only supports 2.8MHz DSD over Sony’s proprietary DSD over HDMI Video/Audio. I do have 5.6MHz (DoP - USB from my PC direct into the DSD Sr.) & 11.2MHz files (Sony’s internal DAC supports this - but the SQ is meh). The difference in sound quality going from S/PDIF to I2S was easily noticeable. I’m very happy spinning my SACD’s and have re-downloaded many of my 5.6MHz files from HDTT and Blue Coast. Very helpful people. HD Tracks said NO ! I still have to contact Acoustic Sounds.

There’s a whole lot more driver work, etc needed for DSD256 over USB, it also requires work in the XMOS chip. For the time being you could use, say, a Matrix which does support converting DSD256 over USB to I2S. ---

Singxer DDC will work as well 😉 ---

Hey Ted, I’m so bummed lately that I’d even be thrilled with a nice placebo update to Windom! ---

All seriousness aside (buhdum), besides the amazing sound of the DSD and Jr, one of the “can’t live without” features of these things is the periodic updates. Truly brilliant idea. ---

Agreed. However, I can’t help but have FOFU over the periodic updates. (not the one in the Urban Dictionary… I mean “Fear Of Final Update”) [Next page](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/windom-update/15856.md?page=2)
