It's wonderful! I listened to before and after tracks (plus a vinyl version) of Eva Cassidy's wonderful rendition of Time After Time. The last elements of digital harshness/edginess/brightness are vastly reduced. A much more natural and listenable sound. Very nice job Ted!

I am astounded by each one of these firmware upgrades. Windom may very well turn out to be the best upgrade ever. I have only had a hour of listening, but it sounds more analog with a bit more bass punch. Piano and voices sound more natural. How many more of these upgrades can we expect to enjoy? No one knows, but it is like getting a new DAC each time!

Agreed - just the evening with it, but it's like a new (and better sounding) DAC to my ears thus far. I don't care for the direct distribution model, but I love the FPGA DAC and the FREE updates. I suspect I can get about 60% for my DAC and DSD on the used market compared to before their announcement of direct sales only, but it doesn't matter right now - as I just got what sounds like a new DAC to me.

No doubt there is lots to learn about programming and perhaps what it can do for this type of DAC.

Call me skeptical but I feel most of these are simply well planned out incremental changes to something PSA has found improves some element of the PSA DAC.

Do they really have another ‘breakthrough’ every 3-6 months?

No, it's every 6-12 months and so what.................... :D
Just like every computer driven device in the world.........iPhones, computers, TVs, on and on.

Remember though — It's FREEEEEE :thumbsup:

Irrespective of how they get there, I’ve enjoyed each one of the updates. I think this may be my favorite (based only on a couple hours) - hate to use the words, but it sounds more analog to my ears. Best part is that if you don’t like it, you can go back to an earlier version you like more.

And, it’s free.

:yes:
