Same thing happened when I tried.  Just so happens theres a thread for that:

Happy flashing!

 
Oh, thanks! The link on page is wrong, that's why.
I was wondering to upgrade to the 2014 version, even if I'm using a DAC with integrated XMOS interface, but with this I'll keep it: with a battery "it runs like a train", we say.

just got my replacement di with hdmi and hdmi kit for m7, really good result
the most noticing that hdmi seem to fix sib issues which was reported by few di users :)
overall better imagine sense than built in usb32 and more natural feeling, no more harsh sounding in the highs :)
all agd users who wish to buy the di should definitely change to hdmi interface :)

Any more impressions?
I currently use the NFB7 via USB and wonder whether it'd sound better and which input would sound best :)
Thanks!

Thanks!

What NFB-7 do you have? .2? .32?

USB should be good enough. You could cut the +5V on your cable, too.

True.
Though the DI-V2014 couldalso come in handy in the future :D
I am not sure how to go about cutting it anyway...
Regardless, there is some ground loop noise I am dealing with as well... It is not a problem with the Hifiman but it is audible with more sensitive headphones ;/
Using a different power socket circuit (away from PC) fixes it but that is not a viable or permanent solution...
Shame those USB purifiers are not fast enough/full USB 2.0 compliant... Was thinking about the Wyrd or such...
Well, that's OT.:)

you dont need to cut it, just use a paper sticky tape and tape 5v leg :)

Just got my DI2014. Have been buring it in for a couple of days. I am using BNC cables. Does anyone know that if it supports 50 ohm or 75 ohm BNC cables?
Just checked the DI web page - Its 75 ohm for both input and output. Guess RG-59 cables will do it.

Lurking, looking for any positive comments on the DI 2014. Is someone out there really happy with it?
I once had a Audio GD Ref 7. The DI V3 improved it a lot.
Now I wonder if the performance of my NAD M51, fed by a good old Squeezebox Touch, would gain anything by putting a DI 2014 between them.

i tried di2014 with my friend nad51 and i would say it does great job elevating the nad in to whole new level , at least 2 times better compare to nad built in usb
