I've done it all. I'm not the only one to encounter this problem, I searched the thread and there was another guy who had the exact same problem when using a U18 with Wavelight. I've not had issues with any other DACs using the same U18 via I2s. Pretty strange behavior though, I went from v1.04...

Can someone please just send me the 1.38 firmware? I've asked Rockna early Thursday morning and still waiting, they're probably closed for the weekend now. I've asked original seller and he doesn't seem to know how to do it, he only has a cellphone and says he can't find the file when he clicks...

From what I've read the USB implementation isn't the best, I might try it if I'm forced to but TBH I'd rather just sell the Wavelight and move on to something else at that point. I won't be buying a WLS. I'd like to try a newer firmware as my unit is on 1.04 but still waiting on that...

I have a pretty big library of DSD128/DSD256 albums so AES isn't a good option for me as it's limited to DSD64 DoP.

No dice. I don't think changing the modes does anything at all, channel & phase remains the same and the DAC doesn't get a lock on any DDC mode other than 'Gustard'. I have to swap my XLR cables just to get PCM working correctly, can't use DSD. If you had trouble using 2 Rockna i2s products...

Power down to standby and then power on again or remove the power cable entirely?

Can someone please send me the latest firmware update for the Wavelight? I just picked one up on the used market and it forces you to create an account and register your product simply to download firmware -- when I attempt to register it says already registered so I can't download the firmware...

Here ya go. Sorry for the delay, the boys called me out for a fishing trip. I did do some A/B testing and they sounded the same to my ear. If I was really splitting hairs I might even say the iFi had a slightly blacker background but I wouldn't be comfortable claiming that 100%; there was...

I don't have a Hypsos anymore but I'll take a picture of it next to Wandla in a little bit, Wandla and Hypsos are the same size. It's a pretty small unit, smaller than I was expecting it to be. Yep 24v version and it comes with all the adapters one could ever need. You'll need to use one of...

:sweat_smile: This is why I put a strong emphasis on having a DAC with high output voltage. I realized the Bliss needs all the help it can get with the Sus. :disappointed: When testing the analog volume I turned off bypass mode of course. My frontend is indeed bit perfect. HQ Apod was the...

I started with Hypsos and compared with iFi iPower Elite, found no difference so returned the Hypsos and pocketed the (large) difference. I have always been running bypass mode with anywhere from -1dB to -3dB digital trim. After reading your post a few days ago I did try analog volume but...

Yep using Sus + Bliss but the thing is when I swap to my lowly Cayin iDAC-6 Mk2 (solid state mode) the bass and dynamics are there which leads me to believe the Wandla is lacking something in that dept. The Cayin is notably thicker/fuller sounding with more bass/slam & dynamics, the Wandla is a...

Good to know because May KTE was on my list to try at some point and I feel the Wandla is lacking in bass, slam & dynamics. If May is worse in that regard I can safely strike it from the list. At this point what I'm most interested in as far as GSE Wandla is concerned is the Impact+ feature...

Yeah I noticed as I was about to plug the PSU into the adapter, those logos are super similar thank god I double-checked!

Right you are, my dumb-*** didn't even bother to look inside the packaging, I just pulled out the PSU and attempted to connect it. :grimacing: There is a center-pin-negative adapter in the box, using the adapter everything fits. :sunglasses:
