I've updated the firmware successfully I hope. The readings are now as follows.
Bootloader: 1.13
Firmware: 1.2.3
Bridge: 0.2.15
FPGA: 0.79
USB: 00.06
Rev: Pike
Erik, does this look right to you? I just started listening to it and it does sound better - clearer, but sometimes the ears hear what the mind anticipates.
I appreciate the hand-holding.
Thanks again.

Joe just keep playing music through it.. 500 hours it'll keep opening up and getting better..
Yup that's correct..
Perfect. Thank you for your help.

Also make sure you keep the volume control at 100% and make sure you don't have the output attenuator engaged, when listening.. it seems to blunt things a tiny bit.
Also as regards the output attenuator.. it actually speeds up the breaking process if you have it engaged during break in. Ted Smith the designer, mentioned on the PSA user forums a while back that having it engaged adds a resister to the signal path and makes the unit work a bit harder.
Also I'm sure you know that you don't need the whole system on to do the break in just put a CD on repeat and the Dac on and leave it be.. The CJ amp doesn't need to be playing..
All very helpful. Thanks, Erik. I do keep it 100% all the time. I have a signal running through it even when not listening. Most often it'll be my Xfinity STB which is routed through the Oppo and then to the DAC. I'll make sure to engage the attenuator during these non-listening periods.
I don't use the attenuator while listening because one of the adjustments I've had to make during this whole time is that the Oppo outputs 2.1Vrms unbalanced while the PSA DS DAC only outputs 1.4Vrms. Using the attenuator makes the disparity even greater.
Really appreciate your insight and all these tips.
Joe
