PS Audio NEW Huron Firware upgrade. 😩😫😩


I was greatly anticipating this new firware upgrade for the direct stream ,and Jr dac.
i downloaded and applied this new huron so called upgrade   Was a Major letdown for me .
i love the analog like presentation before and row 6-8 perspective. Now it  is in your face town 1-2
to the 5 who heard it in my system Pass labs  class A mono blocks,DHT 4P1L Vacuum tube preamp,Silnote  upper cables 
Sonus Faber Olypica-3 speakers  Aurender 100-H  player AQ Diamond USB   
Core power technologies 1800 for line voltage.   It looks like I may have no choice but go back to the last 
generation of firmware  What a let down ,a few others online on other forums agree .i am sure some will like it  some of the musicality and flow of music are gone  it sounds more like a Sabre dac .
only 1 out of 5 at my house liked the change .how about  a happy medium .
for sure a revision should be in order . The analog smoothness was always welcome just a bit more bottom end and detail  back off the upsampling some ,maybe too much of a good thing.  In another setup 
that is all tubes it may be a good thing .

The good thing is I can revert back firmware any time I choose , and there is 
Sonic adjustments coming up in the near future . Sometimes progress has to 
Take s temporary step back to progress 2  ahead.
I will give it another week. I will say 24 hours later it is only more up front 
In character on transient attack yes micro detail is  better  as well as more defined imaging. It is not quite as analog  or as smooth as the original.if more run In time is needed as some say I will be back after another 175 hours to let you know. 

I originally gave the Huron firmware a negative.
Since then things have changed years why, first I corrupted the down load 
The 1st time by removing the card reader before first right clicking to eject 
Then getting a ok sign.
This one tells me to go over all options . I had bought the latest best Card As, wire
From Pangea ,I thought was decent Wrong  on a hunch I replaced with a 
Furutech 0 crystal Copper power cord and all brightness went away noticeably better. A valuable lessen for even a seasoned Audiophile. 
Always check for any weak link in the chain.
