Reviving an old thread here. Just had the DSP-1 updated to Firmware v7. It is a big improvement over the last firmware V5 for this particular DAC. The slightly artificially processed sound is gone. It is now very organic, much improvements in the soundstage and imaging, tonally more neutral...

For those curious about installing the new 2014 firmware and driver on the DI-V3, I have installed them on the DI-V3. It works although playback is only available via WASAPI and not through ASIO for now. Kingwa mentioned in an email that the ASIO only works in 32bit output so not applicable to...

Try this link: http://audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/USB32/USB32EN_2.htm   The firmware v11 also contains older firmwares http://www.audio-gd.com/USB32firmware.rar   It should have all the files inside.

I tested the new firmware and driver on the DI V3 even though it's meant for the DACs only. Here's the feedback I sent to Kingwa about this.   "Dear Kingwa,   Just want to give feedback on the new USB32 firmware and driver 2014.   I install the firmware on the DI V3 supply SPDIF to the...

Quote: The Links are the same as above. I downloaded the Firmware file and it has firmware #10 in it. 

Quote: Just to chime in. I've updated to the DI, and have no problems at all. Other than a silly mistake which I did earlier. At this point tin time, I can only say the update brought some improvements in the soundstage (wider, deeper), balanced in timbre, better layering and separation of...

Tried the new firmware and the new driver. While there are some improvements in the sonics (better separation, soundstage and refinement), there's a new bug or strange behaviour. My DI-V3s is used as the primary output from my PC. When I first installed the new driver, output from Foobar ASIO...

The DAC-19Mk3 is still one of the best DAC you can have. I actually have a DAC19DSP which I managed to convert to accept the DF1704 and PMD100 digital filters as well as the DSP-1.    For what it's worth, I find that the earlier filters to my ears sound better. The music flows better and...

Just another brief Update:   I've installed the TCXO upgrade from Kingwa into the DIV3s. Could've kicked myself for not ordering it together earlier.   The TCXO definitely improves on the DI-V3s. Greater sense of instrumental colours, greater sense of ambiance and details. There's weight...

My apologies to all who may have been waiting for my update. Been really busy on a shoot so hardly had time to have a propere listening session. Originally intended to give an impression of the DI-V3s against the DI-V1 in the DAC19DSP (with the PMD-100 mod as well as the DSP-1) and FUN.  ...

Just a short update. It's been 150 hours of burn-in. Pretty much left it power-up since earlier listening when I first got it. After that I switched back to the SPDIF feed from my Juli@ card. I switched over to the DI-V3s just now just to get an impression of the sonics and if there's any...

Quote: No, I don't. Only the DI-V1. The DI-V3 doesn't have any upsampling function. Kingwa mentioned that since the jitter is so low, he felt a DSP3 isn't needed to reclock.  I did however, ask if it was possible if the USB32 be incorporated into the DI-DSP since I really like a DI-DSP...

I received my DI-V3s yesterday. In the package were the spare firmware, an LED which I supposed is for changing to a less brighter one than the one installed on the DI-V3s, along some resistors to modify the DI-V1 PSU to power-up the DI-V3s.    Initial impressions are the DI-V3s sounded much...

Judging from the pictures, I think the new DI-V3 is a modified version of DI-V2 with the USB-32 module soldered onto the earlier DI-V2. I did ask once if it was possible to modify the DI-DSP with the USB-32 chip bypassing the onboard TE8022 so that I can have the upsampling and de-jitter...

Here's the response from Kingwa. Basically his answers correspond to what is already posted on the DI-V2 page, but it's interesting to note that according to Kingwa, the DI-DSP with the Reference 10 is the better option for connection. He didn't provide any comments about sound quality though...
