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

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.

My system sounded really good with snowmass but after this recent firmware upgraded its holy crap  good. My system was always a bit to revealing at times and highs a little too edgy. Now it’s just silky smooth with way better imaging and almost 3d surround like effect. I dont know what they did over there but they did it right.

All I will say about Windom upgrade is: Holy Algorithms! I have been at this for decades and I rarely have heard such a jump in audikle improvement from anything -- component, playback media or software. It really is magic.  Neal

I feel the same way.  To get a new DAC, via free firmware update, every year or so is kinda unbelievable.
