Just exactly as I told at the beginning, do you remember: "I have installed "Pro-Ject UNI Driver v4.38.0 for Windows" and after that firmware update".I figured it out
Hi Left Channel,
I've got one of these boxes on order and read you've got a drop box folder with all the appropriate files to perform the update.
Would you be kind enough to share that link with me?
It's shame they've not implemented a firmware updater for the Mac!
Many thanks in advance,
Rob.
I had this issue with the standalone FW update programme.
Installing the latest "UNI_Project_v4.38.0_Windows-Driver.exe" and a reboot seemed to make the standalone programme start working.
Which sort of defeats the object as that driver also contains a FW update facility in its control panel !! ;-)

Hi Left Channel
Many thanks for your reply - dropbox link duly noted and everything downloaded
I tried to do a firmware update on Windows 10 but it failed but a look at the version number revealed it was up to date - perhaps they're shipping with the latest version
I was wondering if someone could shed any light on the optical input and hdmi splitters - The latest PS4 doesn't have optical out so a HDMI splitter is required. This is what I was using with my old Denon DAC and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately the S2 won't play ball with it - it keeps losing the connection (fibre icon no display flashes from red to white to red ,etc, etc). The optical in on the box is working fine and I've also tested it with the xbox one and the splitter with unfortunately the same results. Is there something I'm overlooking here?
As for Filters - the instructions just tell you what the listed filters are. Is it possible to fiddle with these and are there specific scenarios for using these? - Currently I'm using the optimal setting and it seems to fit my musical tastes.
Is there a way to power off the box when it's connection to the mains power supply other than unplugging it?
As for sound quality - WOW! Really is a huge upgrade over my Denon DAC-300USB (I still love it though!) It's difficult to put a finger on it but the sound is extremely clean, bass is punchy, mids very clear. It also drives my Sennheiser HD660S headphones effortlessly. The box works very well with Tidal and Audirvanna+
Overall I'm extremely happy with my purchase.
Best,
Rob.
With the new Windows driver and new FW, I can play up to DSD512 native and DSD256 DoP in the 44.1 kHz base sample rates, well done Pro-Ject!
But in upsampling PCM from 48 kHz base sample rates, can go up only to DSD128 (48k - DoP); DSD256 (48k - DoP) - gives infinite clicking sound! (with the old Windows driver, with RELAXED buffer settings, DSD256 (48k - DoP) worked all right)
And with 48 kHz base sample rates, native DSD don´t work at all.
So with 48 kHz base PCM, upsampling only to DSD128! Pro-Ject please do something about it, if the Windows driver buffer settings go back to RELAXED, DSD256 (48k - DoP) might work again.
All playing and testing done in Foobar plus SACD plugin.
I use the ASIO drivers and play DSD512 native without issue on my Windows 10, have used it for several days and no problems.
Thanks again for the very detailed reply!
Could you tell me how to adjust the filter 'strength' ? - As you probably already know this functionality isn't detailed in the pdf instructions.
I'm going to pick up another splitter with a Coaxial out to see if this makes a difference - thanks for the tip!
Rob.
Have those been confirmed to cause a measurable change to the output? Have you contacted Pro-Ject about exchanging your unit?
I live in Sweden but I bought my dac from Austria otherwise I would have returned it immediately
