Firmware 7.1.3 vs 8.1.3 vs 10.0.2

[NickTMS]

Will try tomorrow, thanks

I will agree with that. In my system (Musical Affairs Grand Crescendo, with PHY-HP units) 7.1.3 gives the most analogue sound of all firmwares. But Air 3.0 has a lot more issues and dropouts. So i move to USB connection. And that makes me happy. Lovely sound!

Instead of Air 3.0 install and use 2.1.3. In my case it works!:-)

I've been doing a little more experimenting and so far I prefer 7.1.3 with digital files but I'm drifting towards 9.0.1 (without SAM) when playing vinyl. For me 7.1.3 is a little too soft when playing records.
