I might give it a try later, although I really enjoy the V2 sound from the R28.

Wonder what the difference between new firmware and the 2019 version, are they the same? Because the new firmware introduces front panel selection for the settings now.

Apparently now there is only one NOS mode.
Please let us know here if you try it, which version you’ve tried, and what the differences are. Also if it’s true about front panel selection and NOS modes. Thanks!http://audio-gd.com/R2R/R282019/R28_tdaEN.htm

No front panel settings changes (to older R-28) according to Kingwa but all NOS modes are combined into one, with more modes to be added in the future. Interesting. Will wait for feedback before trying this.Wonder what the difference between new firmware and the 2019 version, are they the same?

I'm really enjoying the V3 'Accurate' firmware with my new R-28. Sounds nice and balanced to my ears; plenty of details but still quite natural/musical.

Has anyone had an opportunity to compare this amp/dac to a Hugo 2? I'd love to hear some feedback. I'm looking for a balanced desktop set up to replace my Hugo 2.
I try the new firmware for sometime now.
The R-28 TDA-ASY (Accurate) : The sound is different from V.3. But sound is narrow and echo.
I don't think it natural and some time I lose focus on music. On gaming it even worst so I don't think this is worth the try.
The R-28 TDA-SYN (Smooth) : This firmware is good. It smooth and easy to listen to.
I don;t have any complaint with it. so worth a try. Sound is not smooth as V.3 smooth
I will go back to Firmware V.3 accurate. due to I think that suite me more.

R28 with the clock Accusilicon. The sound is more detailed, cleaner, but not as smooth as before. Previously I used the Audio GD clock.
Thank-you for sharing your helpful impressions.
Did you previously have the TCXOs? Which firmware are you using? And finally, which oversampling or non-oversampling mode are you using?
Thanks!
I am using firmware V3 smooth . NOS 3 mode.

Thanks. My TCXOs also have the Audio-gd lettering stamped on them.
I’m enjoying the V3 accurate in 8X OS mode. I’m thinking of getting the Accusilicons. Soldering doesn’t scare me, but I’m not very experienced.
Anyhow, perhaps the sound will become slightly more smooth for you as they break in a bit.
