免費嘅 Redcloud DirectStream Upgrade 真係唔講得笑：

FYI, a PSAudio DirectStream DAC (RedCloud 131) when fully burned in comes awfully close to a BluDave.

I have both and prefer PSA with Redcloud.

I own both and love both but the PSA DS Dac is better.

佢哋嘅行嘅 OS 有分好幾代，初代叫 Torreys，跟住係 Huron，最近出嘅版本就叫 RedCloud：

thx you! 我是用佢細佬Junior, 請問都可以update上redcloud嗎？其實我都知佢有firmware, 但基於安全穩陣就無updare! 而最想知佢音質會否有改善?

I bought the DS for my headfi system early this year. Recloud is the best in sound quality and the improvement is obvious. You should try it.

Too bad there is a bug for DS that there are occasional clicks for songs with wide dynamics. It’s particularly obvious for headphone listening. So I have reverted back to Torreys waiting for the next update from PS Audio. This bug is not with the junior.

請問PS Audio Directstream junior firmware 係點update, 我下載左紅雲junior版本, 解壓左落手指, 然後將DAC斷電, 插入手指, 然後開機, 但佢就好似無load 手指入面啲野咁, 就直接boot up入舊系統, 無update過, 我睇過官網有話過要fat 32格式, 但我手指都係fat 32, 試過轉ntfs, 開機後前面板藍色開關按鈕有閃下閃下咁(說明書有指咁樣係update 中), 但閃完後入系統依然係無update過, 我原版本係yale版, 請問我有甚麼地方做錯嗎?

ching, 我上星期買了PS Audio Directstream junior, 仲以為自己是聽 latest firmware Red Cloud, check 吓, 嘩, 嚇了一跳, 原来仲係2年前的 Torreys.
立刻 format USB 手指 to FAT32, download Red Cloud firmware, 不用5 分鐘 ready to update.
先 power off DSJ (跟 manual), 等 10 秒, 插入 USB 手指, power on DSJ, 左面藍燈不停閃，千萬不可以 power off, 等了大约 4-5 分鐘，右面 panel見 "load from USB", 再等一陣就 finish。
Check firmware version, 見到 Red Cloud, 原來整個星期都是聽舊 version, hope this help。

After the firmware update from Torreys to Red Cloud, the most obvious improvement is the bass, Wow! the bass note goes deeper, strong and much impact.

Ching, 可能是 USB hardware 問題，我用 Scandisk USB手指, 因為9 成9 廠家用 Scandisk USB 手指或 SD card 開發試機

師兄可以話我知你用邊個型號Scandisk USB 手指, 想參考下, thx!

CAS2012

Ching, 我用的是舊 Scandisk USB 手指，不要著重形號，手頭有 Scandisk usb 手指可以一試。或可以用 Scandisk SD card, 再用 usb SD card reader。 我有玩相機，經驗話用 Scandisk 試機，如果有問題，一定不會是手指。希望你成功 update

Red Cloud 是 DSJ 的一大進步，上星期開箱，用第一代Firmware Torreys, 低頻不夠鬆，硬，實，一點都不自然，因我貪方便，all in one streamer+ DAC+ pre-amp, 非常失望。但早兩天update 去 Red Cloud, DSJ 的低頻有大大改善，Ching, 值得update
