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.- barbas

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

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!- barbas

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!- barbas

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...- barbas

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

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!- barbas

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...- barbas

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...- barbas

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.- barbas

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.- barbas
