Wow 075 seem to throw music all around the room, soundstage is very different from what i heard ever. Hmm maybe thats why it could be 'unnatural'. Bass is better mids are better and treble is right there. I think it could be best version yet from kingwa.

Tried for first time after being on b1 since quite few months. 075 certainly resembles b1 to me and imaging even is more solid than b1. Mids are certainly better in 075. Now i realise how much thinner b1 was. 076 seems smoother to me analogish kind.

Noise is fixed in the newest released r8 firmware v1.13. As far as listening goes sound signature is same as all the parallel dop firmwares but my system liles old tda syn firmwares so i did not analyse the improvements much.

Is it me only or new di20he firmware is more analog like for others also. Digital stress is eliminated much now.

:beerchug: Kingwa got some new superpowers.

AFAIK red button is for amanero interface, dont press for more than 1 sec while di20 is on, otherwise the current amnaero firmware will get erased and you would need to flash again. USB blaster is needed to update di20 firmware.

I follllowed same instructions as for Master 7 firmware and was able to flash Poweroff di20he Connect usb blaster to upgrade port on di20he and other end to pc usb Poweron di20he Flash firmware using quartus software Poweroff di20he Disconnect usb blaster from di20he and pc usb Power on di20he...

How to upgrade instructions not clear Edit: got it

Guys, I am using di20he and r8he. While using usb, I noticed that acss coax from di20he to r8he sounds more lively open and smooth on treble whereas from i2s hdmi to r8he sounds more laid back and voices and instruments spread and go back though tonality is much better than coax. The difference...

Dont know exactly whats the issue with R7 but for r8he it has static noise on all inputs with the latest firmware, I emailed Kingwa and he has acknowledged the issue and is working for a fix.

tda asy p dop 1.1 march 2020

New firmware for r8 r8he released. I tried on r8he but little static noise is present in new firmware. Anyone else tried ?

What you shared is true for me as well. Mine is also a speaker system, i dont use headphones at all and i use master 1/master3 combination along with di20he. Latest firmwares ( i have tried all from r8asy3 afterwards and now i realise ) are sharp and edgy which leads to inpression that they are...

Your post inspired me to swap the pins on my recently procured r8he and i went from latest firmware to old R8TDA_Asy.jic. got to say you are right. This fw is more natural and warmer than any of the latest ones those after pin swap and R8asy3. It has much more smooth and has more bass and less...

Anyone tried reversing power cord polarity with di20he? I tried and it sounds more detailed and spacious in my small room but bass is less.

My m1 m3 are now 10months old, so well burned in. R8he is 4months old and latest addition is di20he which is a week old. But i have observed the sound quality change in night before also. One more question, i am finding the gear to be polite and soft at times especially at mids. I am using...

Got your point thanks, i suspect it needs to do something with noise in electricity during daytime, in night as soon as it clocks 10:30 or 11PM, it all starts to sound more dynamic and fabulous.

Looks like i am listening at dangerous levels then.15-20 is really very low for me. What speakers you have?

Any owners of master1 and master3, could you please let me know whats the volume level you keep for normal listening. Below 28 it doesnt sound good at all in the day for me and at night 24-25 is very good.

I tried the latest update on my r8he coming from asy3. Soundstage appears big but there is a treble rolloff and it does not sound as anayltical as asy3. In short new firmware is smoother in high frequencies and there is more of an enveloping sound than before. Male voices are surely better in...

Kingwa said its having r8_asy3 firmware by default. He sent me r8_asy, r8_19 and r8_v3 firmwares to try but suggested not to fiddle till the dac is fully broken in. I am using and liking it at 8x os mode. In nos mode it sounds like a refined dac 19. In os mode, it transfers my system to a...

I got r8he some days back. Coming from dac 19, this is sensational stuff. Anyone using master 1 and master 3 should use nothing less than this dac. Its hard to believe anything better exists. My system is transformed from good to exceptional now for the better. Music flows like water with a...

Guys can anyone help me in deciding whether its worth to upgrade from audiogd dac 19 10th edition to r8 . i have agd m1 and m3 combo. What do i gain and what do i lose. Also how good is the nos mode on r8.

Anyome compared dac 19 10th edition v7 firmware with new r8 or r7 dacs? What would be ideal upgrade. I own complete audiogd m1-m3 and like the analog sound of dac 19 and domt want to miss the lovely voices.

 I have got an arcam rpac and though it sounds detailed with good soundstage, I find it more on treble side. Can anyone suggest how DAC-19 compares with rpac . I dont want to miss on those details and soundstage but want more body in my music.
