    Hi, 1. just one NOS mode (improved) with the new firmwares. 2. always used NOS 3 previously, still prefer NOS over OS. Trust your ears.

    First hours of DOP fw listening...sounding really, really open and engaging so far in NOS mode. Loving it.

    Hi guys, can you please confirm that DSDCLK version is sound wise an improvement over P_2 with PCM files? I always have to borrow a laptop from a friend to make updates (pain in the @ss) and I've already donde the P_2 update. Thank you!

    DA7-V2 + Accusilicon + Asy3 + NOS is really a killer combo already as boards and clocks still settle. My system never sounded so right as I'm experiencing now. Kudos again to Kingwa and his team!

    Weird thing: I just tried to update Asy3 firmware in my R2R7. I did it with a friend of mine laptop (always need to borrow one as I only have Mac). This was the first time I used my friend's laptop. I downloaded the .jic file and Altera Programmer 1.21 as usual. No issues until the end of the...

    Thanks Scott. Yes, basically it should work as the Asy firmware I'm running right now.

    Hi Scott, will the R7_Asy3 firmware work properly on my R2R7 (DA-7 V2 boards and Accusilicon)? Thanks and really appreciate your dedication to improve our user experience!

    50 days with the DA V2 boards/TDA Asy now. Clearly improvement from day 1 and getting better and better over time. Acussilicon XOs just arrived and installed! Just a few hours of listening but again, improvements can be clearly noticed even with XOs not burned in yet. This is a fantastic...

    Thanks for your comments @JaMo Yes, of course I reached them. I must assume things are kind of busy because Kingwa is not answering directly to me as he always did, instead May asked me the same as you guys, if I was sure that the clocks were not overlooked. And no, they were not. Communication...

    One more appreciation: DA7 V2 should have the latest Xillinx firmware flashed, right? Because I'm experiencing the same strong 'pops' when changing sample rates as prior with DA7 V1 with older firmware.

    BTW, last night I changed the DA7 boards and flashed TDA Asy firmware. First impressions are really good, this needs to settle down, but things looks very promising. I'm really pi*** off by the fact that Accusillicon clocks should also be installed at this stage.
