Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download?

I just checked the PS Audio forum and comments have started to flood in during the last 36 hours. There are many comments that the new download requires a break in period, which seems to defy logic; but, the anecdotal evidence certainly seems to support that theory.

As of now, there's no suggestions that this issue affects only the Sr versus Jr model, or vice versa. Maybe the next update will combine the best aspects of Snowmass and Windom!

Break in period for firmware/software?

thats a newbie, unless there are parts inside the dac that was laying dormant until the new firmware was released. I’d say it’s more ears adjusting to sonic changes from what they were familiar with hearing before.

I heard the same thing that Mitchagain heard.... brightness.  It smoothed out after a few days.  At first, I thought maybe the Dac had to warm up after being off for what amounted to no more than fifteen minutes.  I have no explanation as to what happened, or why the brightness cleared up after a few days, but I know what I heard.

I have had Windom on my DSD Senior now since it came out. No loading problems, the sound never changed, always consistent. For me, it is a more natural, easy to listen to, comfortable, really nice.

I would be happy to never have another upgrade... this did it for me.
BTW, I post on the PS Audio site.... PS Audio takes the input from their owners pretty darn seriously and the software designer Ted, responds to most if not all questions... you should pop over there and read up on it.

Windom is a slam dunk...If you ever get a chance to listen to Teds new update,please do so...you will be gobsmacked.
