Middy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Ah thanks Occams ..I missed that at the bottom.... I was hoping for an external add on. ... It could potentially be added if you removed the internal power supply.....Not going to happen though...... I do agree with you very much with the first post..

Flac2Dac Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Sorry...my Google search brought me here; and while my answer might already lie buried, in the 74-some-odd pages...I'm going to have to beg-off Netiquette and ask again anyway. I'm trying to upgrade the FW in my Brooklyn (2.05!)...and I can't seem to get my Win7 Home Premium (64-bit) to recognize it. As per what I've read...I install the driver (3.29), then attach the DAC. I get a "bong-bong-bong", no recognition of the device from my PC; and of course, that means...when I install and open up the MCP, I get a goose-egg. I did finally open a ticket with Mytek...but they asked for a screen-shot (like my empty MCP, will somehow help them?), and I haven't heard back.

mumsoft Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The newest firmware is 2.21, 2.05 is old. But that should not matter afaik. Marc Link to comment

Flac2Dac Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 ^^ Right fellas; that's what I'm trying to do. Update my FW, from 2.05 to 2.21. But you need to do that, through MCP...yes?

I know he rates things higher for great value... but nice to see Screen shot [ATTACH]29746[/ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G900F using Computer Audiophile mobile app Strange rating, in the text of the review is a statement that he rates that Auralic Vega as a better sounding dac than the Brooklyn, but in the list the brooklyn is rated higher then the Vega. Quite subjective I think. Link to comment
Middy Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 probably the overall good value and features and still a very good Dac implementation.... . Sent from my SM-G900F using Computer Audiophile mobile app Link to comment
Flac2Dac Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 So...here's a "weird" one; that's probably just going to result in the conclusion "it's broke"! lol, but I'm curious anyway. Not my Brooklyn, but my friend sent me his...because a) we have the same set-up; AAM into Brooklyn, so A/B and troubleshooting would be easy. And b) my vocation, makes me a good and meticulous troubleshooter. He said, in his set-up: he heard "garbled music"; "like muffled...then sped up, or slowed down". Sometimes "screechy". When I got the unit, the first thing I did...was compare ALL the settings, against mine; since I NEVER had an issue. He was on 2.07; I was on 2.05...so we were both, wayyy behind the latest 2.20/21. I upgraded both our firmware, and then made sure my unit was still solid. Then I put his unit, into the loop...leaving everything else unchanged. At first, I thought he was "fixed"...because everything played and sounded fine. I left the unit to run, but when I checked back...after about an hour; there was no output. The DAC was getting a signal...because I could see the meters moving; just not outputting to my pre-amp. I took a quick look at all the settings...and played with some; but it turned out, the MQA was the culprit. It was enabled, as it certainly should/could be; but as soon as I disabled it...the output kicked right back in. Re-enable it; output stopped. I tested the same scenario, with my Brooklyn; no such issues. So then I did a "hard-flash" of his firmware, and a "clean" re-load of 2.21. Again I put it back in the loop, where my unit had been running issue-free; and let it sing. This time...I stopped by the room, about every 15 minutes; to try and pinpoint when it dropped out. The first time, I was checking every so often...but I would say it was about an hour, when I noticed the silence. So this time...when it was still good, close to 4 hours in; I was optimistic. But it dropped out again, shortly after that; and again...enable/disable, fixed and broke the output. The display would read "no word clock", or like 352.8...when the input was 44.1. I should also mention...this was using, USB (I am now testing, with coax s/pdif...to see if the issue persists). To this point...with an admittedly, small sample size; it never starts off like this. So...my guess is, after heating up a bit; there's a malfunction of the USB word clock?? Thoughts? Thanks!

rtb Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I usually disconnect the Dac USB cable to use the port when down loading a cd into Audiovana on my Mac mini. When connecting the USB cord back up To the Dac I get "garbled", noises out. To rectify this I have found I have to disconnect the power cord on the Brooklyn for a few seconds, power back up and reselect the Dac. I am still on the original software for the Brooklyn due to the problems others have had and It does what I require. When everyone is happy I may then update. Hope this helps, Roy. Link to comment
mumsoft Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 What is your "original" version number then? I'm still happy with 2.20, but I only use spdif and toslink as digital connections for music. Mytek is (I hope) still busy updating MQA for these inputs. Link to comment
Flac2Dac Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 So...what I think I'm hearing is: a) Mytek has not had smooth sailing, with its FW implementation thus far, and b) this issue, is likely FW related? But then...why would my unit, not have the issue?

labjr Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I was reading a review of the Brooklyn on another site with close-up photos of the inside. They seem to use a single 100mhz clock next to the ESS DAC IC. I thought that using separate clocks for each sample rate family was the best way to go. Any thoughts? Link to comment
mumsoft Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Do you have a link? BTW the Brooklyn is easily opened and can be examined scrutinely. Regarding your question, I have no opinion nor knowledge. Marc Link to comment

mordante Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Has anyone compared the Brooklyn to the Schiit Gungnir Multibit? Already bought the Schiit since I could not get a Brooklyn for a try out. But still I'm curious. [br] Link to comment
