Thanks. The first thread I had forgotten. The second I missed completely.
Neither as far as I can see addresses the question of whether all DSD-PCM conversions are equal, but I guess it is a rarefied topic (and indeed one which only of theoretical interest to me right now).

Playing Apple Express through DSP5200s, the improvements that I noticed with the HD621 are: 1) better bass, 2) better accuracy, and 3) less fatigue. These improvements are more noticeable at higher volumes.

Kal, I have no reason to doubt that you have V1.07  but why the blazes isn't it freely available for download or at least for us lot on here to beta test? It's this sort of thing that I find inexplicable from Meridian.

It's this sort of thing that I find inexplicable from Meridian. I have a feeling that releases like v1.07 which are made to respond to a complaint from a single individual are not generally released but the changes may/will be incorporated into the next general release. For example, if I have v1.07, where is v1.06. My guess is that it was done for someone else. Kal

That has been my experience too. In the early days of HDMI on g98 I tested a number of releases for them trying to resolve a number of issues each having a different version. I don't think I was the only one as between the previous and next public release I think there was something like a jump of 20 odd minor version numbers.
