PS Direct Stream latest firmware, "Snowmass"

Just installed the latest firmware "Snowmass" that is offered by PS Audio and WOW what a difference in sound quality! Wider, deeper soundstage and with increased dynamics. The sound also has such a purity of sound that I just can’t believe.

Right now it is in Beta testing, the firmware should be available to all others Monday at NO cost!

The PerfectWave firmware is not upgradeable. If you upgraded the PerfectWave to a DirectStream (there was a kit for that at one time), then yes, the update would already be compatible.

Just upgraded the directstream memory player to version 3.10 from 3.06. Also updated the perfectwave directstream dac from redcloud to snowmass. Wow! Sounds like a new and better piece of equipment! So happy I made the financial leap of purchasing these items. One can always revert to previous software versions free of charge if unsatisfied! Beautiful!

No, DA conversion is performed by software on the FPGA.

Agree, at least in my system, the DSD was the winner compared to the T+A Dac 8 DSD.  Had a chance to borrow one.  Nope, keeping the DSD
