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

Thanks guys. I've seen the comments on the PS Audio website that started showing up right after I posted this. After a good friend of mine (who is in the audio business) uploaded Windom and reported great results, I finally uploaded it this past weekend.

I did not notice any of the glaring treble that some people reported; and, I did not need any break in period at all. It sounded great from the beginning; and, I continue to be stunned at how good it sounds.

Man, this one is going to be a hard act to follow; but, knowing there are more free upgrades to come is really encouraging.

Its far better than Snowmass on my set up. So much better that its like new speakers ! I have not experienced any loading issues that I know as it sounds good right from the get go and a few reloads are the same GREAT !

Of all the comments I've seen on the PS Audio forum, no one has mentioned better percussion (be it bongos or congas, cymbals or drums); but, that is where I've heard the biggest specific leap in performance.Maybe this reflects the makeup of my audio system, or what my individual listening priorities are.

The biggest general leap in performance for me has been how visceral or palpable the music is now, which is absolutely intoxicating.

At first I was not so impressed with Windom. Then I did a reload after first downloading an earlier version (Huron). I think since my DS Sr. has had many of the updates it needed to re-calibrate to the new Windom. IMHO.

I am now very pleased with Windom, I did need to readjust my speakers for the more pronounced bass that Windom provides. No big deal, the bass quality is very tuneful. Never had a problem with the treble. Very open and pleasant sound/soundstage.

The music is not the only improvement ! I loaded Bubble UnPn and for some reason its far better then Mconnect !

 The depth and dead space between instruments is far better than Snowmass.  Percussion in the classical sense should have slam and dry fast decay not muddy subwoofer thump and pant leg moving lag ! WINDOM does this for my system.
