Nice to see that Lotoo do keep up on developing their own “algorithms” and keep on improving it. It is very important for customized DSP-IC

True, but would be good for a newbie to get an idea of what's required, how things work, but only if it's not to much trouble for you

Cheers

This is the first time that there has been a firmware update available when I am at home. I tried the Online-Update. Well golly, it works! :ksc75smile:

I can see immediately that Sorting in the current Playing List is greatly improved. It is still not perfectly fluid but much better. I am happy here.

Full function XRC in audio settings.

Anyone who has been using the XRC function routinely is going to be shocked at how it has changed. I previously complained that it created an in-your-face effect, bringing everything sharp and forward, and flattening the soundstage.

Not anymore. They did more than just introduce settings. Even at maximum effect, it is quite subtle now. And so far I am thinking that I like it.

With PCM to DSD set to ON, and the DSD upsampling set to the lower setting of 5.6MHZ, it seems to bring a slight focus to the elements in the soundstage without otherwise disturbing the placement and 3-dimensional effect. With DSD upsampling set to 11.2MHZ, it is a bit stronger in the sharpening effect but still quite okay in the soundstage.

It does make me wonder what was going on before?

Thanks for sharing.
I have just upgraded to this new version and now the PMEQ and XRC options have no effect.
The PMEQ option doesn´t show up in the status bar even if I have a PMEQ settings created and the private scheme selected. The sound doesn´t change.
Besides, if I press the XRC option the sound doesn´t change either. It´s useless.
Just after the upgrade the PMEQ words were in the status bar. Then I deleted the scheme selected and created a new one with other PMEQ settings. After that I´m not able to make it work again.
Is there anything I am missing? Is anyone having the same troubles?

By the way, I tried to go back to the previous firmware version and it seems it is not possible to do so.
I´ve made a reset to factory settings and now I can feel a really subtle change in sound profile when the XRC is on. But I´m not able to use PMEQ settings yet.

My PMEQ settings are working fine, the same as before. (I can't speak to the presets as I deleted all of them. A cool feature of the LPGT is that you can delete unwelcome PMEQ/ATE settings and they disappear until you choose to restore them.)

The XRC is indeed subtle now, but it does still do something. My track for testing changes in the soundstage is Talking Head's The Great Curve, which has crazy layered rhythms and vocals. This track reveals that the changes are there, most evident when doing PCM > DVD conversion.

Speaking of which, this is the XRC setting that is intriguing me now, i.e. staying in PCM but upsampling to 384 Khz. Now this is really subtle but it adds a touch of boldness to the instruments. I do not know how else to describe it.
