just my experience with dual USB with DI-20HE, it still needs the handshake. With the USB power cable disconnected from computer, my jRiver wouldn't play...

I have never updated Amanero FW within DI-20, mine Windows Server 2012. Does it mean the Linux and new AGD FW wouldn't apply to my case?

As I mentioned it's audition after 2 days burn in, it might change later on. My impression of 3.933 is nothing of typical saying of 'clinical', on the contrary it's no harsh at all but with enormous details comparing with old $60. With 4.075 I find the right place of everything I want and...

I might fast forward the burn in over coming 10 days :motorcycle::motorcycle:

I've settled with 3.933 for a while since three new FW published from Oct 2020. Comparing with other two, 3.933 was the most transparent, clarity and emotional for my rig. Recently I received RAL i2S cable to replace a $60. Oh man, even after just 2 days burn in, the difference is HUGE. RAL is...

The latest 3 versions have received compliment by lots of ppl here, but still depends on your own system synergy, and best to try out all, such a beauty of FPGA updates from Kingwa. For me its still 3.933

agree I still come back to 3.993 after testing all other FW. It has bit more body, bass and darker background, though it does compromise with high, details, openness. Wish it could combine the goodies with other FW, for now I'm happy with 3.993 analogue sound.

Actually my DI20HE is upgraded from Matrix, not on same level of course. Recent multiple FPGA FW provides options of sound, really happy with my PS DAC S. (I stumbled here for the I2s cable talk) I heard one of my freind just got Gaia.

Another HongKong forum about Phasure and Pink Faun with google translate help: User reckons Phasure "most truthful sounding", better than WWP 7 and AIM silver (1st gen). Then user ordered Pink Faun, initially sounds quieter, darker background, denser sound than Phasure.

Some google search got me to below online reviews with more I talked to forumners: "The RAL looks distinctively handmade (i.e. not finished like a high end cable). It is extremely detailed - moreso than even my AES cable from AudioSens. Great upper mids and up. Lots of air. Huge soundstage and...

Thanks mate for that, I totally understand the 'less forward presentation', esp with some audiophile vocal recordings. Now can't wait for RAL impression

Hope you enjoy the new toy, any impression to share?

Thx ProLoL for the review, I'd try out 4.07beta3 and the 3.93beta2 later.

With internal clock USB in I2s out, please tell your impression of which FW? thx
