As the loadable filters mature, it's only getting better :-)

I'll try to pick up an USB to Serial converter to try out the new filters.

It's actually kind of enjoyable - a quick download and flash, and you have a new DAC (sonically) :-)

This is the most audiophile DAC out there. Buy once, go crazy with filter rolling...

Exactly :-) I've been playing the NOS filter through the weekend; It's pretty damn good. Maybe slightly fatiguing over time, but super dynamic / and detailed.

I'm rolling with TNT's MB1 filter. Highs have improved very much!

P.S. I wonder if filter switching could be implemented via external processor board. Maybe something like a Raspberry.

NOS filter slightly fatiguing over time but detailed? That's not what I would expect.

Give the MB2b filter some play mates - it's the best I've heard this R-2R.

Re: NOS fatiguing - lots of aliasing artifacts when running NOS, with a fair amount of high frequency hash. It sounds very detailed and lively, but after awhile.... I think I can listen longer than many with my impaired hearing 15K and higher.

I'm currently rolling the MB2c, sounds good. Will try the b.

Interesting. Currently setting up the MB2b throws my DAC into a restarting cycle, I wonder what causes this.

Others reported that too. Loaded fine for me. Tried again and it failed :-(
