PS Audio NEW Huron Firware upgrade. 😩😫😩


I was greatly anticipating this new firware upgrade for the direct stream ,and Jr dac.
i downloaded and applied this new huron so called upgrade   Was a Major letdown for me .
i love the analog like presentation before and row 6-8 perspective. Now it  is in your face town 1-2
to the 5 who heard it in my system Pass labs  class A mono blocks,DHT 4P1L Vacuum tube preamp,Silnote  upper cables 
Sonus Faber Olypica-3 speakers  Aurender 100-H  player AQ Diamond USB   
Core power technologies 1800 for line voltage.   It looks like I may have no choice but go back to the last 
generation of firmware  What a let down ,a few others online on other forums agree .i am sure some will like it  some of the musicality and flow of music are gone  it sounds more like a Sabre dac .
only 1 out of 5 at my house liked the change .how about  a happy medium .
for sure a revision should be in order . The analog smoothness was always welcome just a bit more bottom end and detail  back off the upsampling some ,maybe too much of a good thing.  In another setup 
that is all tubes it may be a good thing .

@lwin - +1 on Huron, it sounds incredible to me. At first I was hearing some crackling that wasn't there before, I thought I had a woofer or a tube going. Not sure what that was but I reloaded it again, let the system run in a while and no noise. I am hearing more music, Micro details. Less noise = more music.

I'll admit it is quite a bit different than Torrey's. Is it better, worse or just different? This happens when you make a change from a familiar sound.

IMHO there is more presence and the soundstage sounds wider and more dynamic. But, there does seem to be less lower bass energy so I may have to readjust the speakers.

I have 450 hrs on my direct stream dac, now have the new Huron software , I like Torrey's , but the new Huron is very very good, tons of micro detail, bass and top end better ,this is a very good software update ,and will stay with huron
I will give it another week. I will say 24 hours later it is only more up front 
In character on transient attack yes micro detail is  better  as well as more defined imaging. It is not quite as analog  or as smooth as the original.if more run In time is needed as some say I will be back after another 175 hours to let you know.
