I use bridge ii. I use Tidal through Roon. I keep the SD card inserted to show art works, with update files deleted. I got no issue in this update, but the old issues persist: - 50% of the chances, art works are not displayed. I heard it’s due to the weak hardware/software of the DAC, so no solution will be provided; - 75% of the chances, the pause function does not work, either from remote or touch screen. I have to use the Roon app to pause the music. I can live with the above two issues, but really did not expect the seemingly easily fixable bugs. |

Correct those are always the worst.

I just got the first new issue after Sunday's update: the DAC turned on by itself.

Yes I am lucky. I have no bridge. Therefore I don’t have issues w artwork etc. basically my setup is like Ted Smiths. I play files via USB from my computer. They have another team that handles bridge etc. it my be a contracted company. Not sure.

I had this situation once - when I used an SD card to update my P20 power regenerator and then inserted it back into my DS DAC. The DS DAC booted up, saw the firmware files and thought --- ooh new firmware, let's upd... DEAD I used the method above to force a reload and that fixed it. Hope this helps

I started listening to RedCloud first. My go to album is Andrea Bocelli’s Amore MQA on TIDAL. Amapola the first song is a track I’ve listened to numerous times. And it still sounds sublime.
Then I popped in the SD card with Snowmass and upgraded the OS. And hit my first snag - the Bridge disappeared as an input. Going into Setup, Bridge - Not installed. Ran the update again - 2 minutes later, still no Bridge. Then on a hunch, because it kept defaulting to I2S - 1 input, which is where my memory transport was, I decided to turn the Memory Transport off, thinking the handshaking between the Transport/DSDAC may have tripped up the Bridge II initialization. Voila. Now Bridge has reappeared. Then when I clicked Play, Amapola started and there’s this timbre in the horn at the beginning that I’d never noticed before. And the soundstage depth of Bocelli’s voice. Same with Autumn Leaves (in French), wider soundstage and better resolution of the strings at the start. Instead of a "strings section", I am hearing more of the individual violins that make up the string section. Then it’s off to DSD. No more clicks that I was encountering before. And it's free!

Okay here's an update.............
Windows 10 computer hard drive>Music>Roon>BridgeII>DirectStream I reinstalled Redcloud, listened to a few songs of various resolutions, remote worked for play, pause, stop, forward, reverse, volume. Then, deleted all files on SD card and installed Snowmass again, listened to the same songs, remote now works for play, pause, stop, forward, reverse, volume. Album art is there but like Redcloud sometimes slow to appear. I will keep notes of any different oddities compared to Redcloud. In comparing the same songs to Redcloud and trying to remember the sound, Snowmass is really good and enjoyable. Lady in Satin can sometimes be a little too too harsh but Billie Holiday's voice was just spectacular. Even Bob Dylan sounds good. Snowmass is a winner for sonics and hopefully the Bridge update will be out this year. So if anyone is having an issue, try installing Redcloud then reinstall Snowmass. Ron
