Yeah, exactly. For the JCAT board.

Thank-you, @FredA and @DACLadder!

Yes i am, but not the latest, i don't have the 10M input. Great dac.

Does linear power supply help for the clock? wonder it makes any difference. I am running with a square wave. I have not tried the sine wave yet.

The quality of the power supplying the XO is equal important as the XO itself. Meaning: "You can ruin the XO's performance with a bad/noisy power supply". Pick an Ultra silent LPS for the XO.

As @JaMo said, and in my case, the regulator feeding the crystal is bypassed, so it is even more important. Will you hear a difference? It depends on so many factors, hard to say. If you pay 130usd like i did for a lps plus a good dc cable, there is not much to loose.

Yeah. Order one from Aliexpress, looks like a very good quality one. I did the sound testing between Square and Sine. To me, Square sounds better than Sine wave. I will be feeding Square to DI and R7HE when I get those.

Do you have a Morion too?

So, I finally received my USB blaster yesterday, and with a lot of putZing...I’m a MAC guy NOT PC... I think I was able to update my firmwarE. Is there a way to check the firmware version from the display? Thanks; Tim

 

[DACLadder]

@soundlogic Unfortunately the only way to verify firmware version is with the Blaster and Altera software. Great idea though - display f/w rev on the front panel. Would be a nice feature.

If the glitch in parallel mode and external xo is gone, you have reached the superior level.

 

[soundlogic]

Thanks for the quick response guys! I do believe I have successfully upgrade...Now to enjoy some quarantine time...

Being quarantined for dubious reasons, owning great audio equipment cushions the pill. Let the thruth, and audio truth triumph!

yup, same unit

Funny to notice how people, despite being quarantined with lot of time for listening and reporting, do not feed anymore this thread with same intensity...

 

[FredA]

Yes. Strange indeed. It's a new way of living.The di20he is perfect with the latest fw, so not much else to say. Other than: buy a very good external clock and enjoy even more!

 

[Oepsie]

My di-20 is still burning in. One week in. It sounds at bit bright opposed to the unit I borrowed from a friend. Any experience with changes in tonal balance as the unit burns in? I’m a bit concerned..
