I have the v2.0 board. I am not sure if it will work with the v1.2(?) board. Might want to email Kimi.

RTA after pink noise adjusted by sliders.
Is this on the v2.0 board?

The version number is engraved on the board itself…. In my specific case, as you can see in the photo, 1.2

I don’t know how you would tell other than looking at the board directly. I don’t think it will be apparent in the screen information.

Check your Hardware in the settings. I have the v2.0 board and it says S7.B

This is an awful idea, DO NOT DO THIS.

Maxing all gains is a bad idea for reliability.

And the DSP in the Isudar is significantly lower quality than the PCM.

Maxing all the EQ sliders sounds AWFUL. I tried this at one point when I thought the Isudar gain was too low (volume was super low even with Isudar Vol near max), before I figured out that the PCM and the Isudar volumes are independently functional.

I have a lot of experience in car audio and played with this at length when I got mine set up.

My strong suggestion: Use the PCM to tweak sound as close as possible to your liking, obviously recognizing the limits of the "bass" and "treble" controls. Then if you know what it is and how to use it, do RTA using the Isudar EQ, but with a VERY light touch - like I said the DSP in the Isudar isn't great so you want it to have as little influence as possible.

Edit: FWIW my setup wound up with PCM bass and treble both at "0", and only minor cuts (-1, -2dB) to a couple midrange frequencies in the Isudar EQ. (Burmester stereo)

Edit2: Also, if you really care about SQ, used wired Carplay connection to Isudar, it sounds much better than wireless Carplay (I 100% do this). And if you REALLY want best SQ, use wired iPod functionality on the PCM, not Isudar Carplay - it sounds better, but I'm not willing to give up Carplay functionality.

I wouldn’t use that information. I don’t think is reliable.

A friend has board version 1.2, and his HW version in that screen also shows S7.B…. Not reliable source to determine HW version. Maybe model number in box is better approach if your board is already installed and you don’t have the desire to take system out to look at it.

This is his board (1.2)



This is what his screen shows:

How long does it take Kimi or someone from iSudar to respond? I sent some emails starting on Friday. I realize it was the weekend and is the middle of the night going into Tues in Beijing right now. However, it has been crickets.

Fair enough. I am wrong. All I know is my board said v2.0 on it.

Hi did your friend had any trouble with the sound, mine 2.0.0.B board with the FW 220104 made a strange interference noise and no music possible, it was playing but nothing to hear. Reversed back to FW 1124 and the strange interference noise was gone.

Thats is my 1.2 board I loaded 0104 to it.......and had total pink noise on AUX. NOT usable, as Santrix describes. I reverted back to latest for 1.2 boards, all good again.

he experienced the same thing…. As a matter of fact I experienced the same thing. We both reverted to 1124., same as you.

I wonder if future updates will only be for V2 boards
