SB V2.02 DSP with detailed comments avalible on https://github.com/schlae/sb-firmware
Many thanks to TubeTimeUS for sharing...

They are assembler codes though.. Don't we need a binary HEX file to flash our DSPs? Has anyone compiled this?

When are we doing a round of PCB orders for this one? 😁

Anchor_modded vs sbb202 - the latter is the new one, and the former is?..

Anchor modded, duh!

For real though: it says in the Readme of the project:

anchor_modded.asm - Firmware from many Chinese clone sound cards (ZhuHai Anchor Electronics).

Apologies for coming across as dumb as I often am but this is the old HEX file we already have, no? Just confused because the filename was completely different in the original Snark Barker project (sb.hex).

EDIT: I just compared the two and they are one and the same. Just scratch that up to me being dumb as usual. I flashed the new HEX and will test it out later this week.

No worries. You're not dumb. I just wanted to make a snarky remark (pun intended).

But good that you tested the contents. I just assumed it was the other firmware, but didn't bother to check.
