Asynchronous USB for Wavelength Crimson

Posted by Mercman (A) on November 28, 2007 at 19:24:38

Wavelength Audio has just released Asynchronous USB function for the Crimson USB DAC. The Crimson can be easily updated as the code is on a removal EPROM. Jitter is reduced in this mode. I think that Gordon is the first to have successfully executed this USB function. I will leave it to him to explain the technical aspects of Async Iso USB mode.

The improvement in sound is quite noticeable. Detail, focus, and control are the most obvious changes. For example; listening to James Taylor’s new album, One Man Band, JT is now in better focus. Previously, his image was more diffuse and less defined in space. The guitar strings have greater detail. Again, with the previous code, everything was softer sounding-less focused. This is not to say that the former sound was anything less than excellent, but the improvements I am hearing now are quite striking. I also noticed an improvement in the bass; better defined and tighter.

I’ll be doing some more listening this weekend and report any other improvements I hear. For now, the Async code is really something else!
