In case there are any Denafrips DAC owners out there that are not aware of the FPGA Firmware Update, here's the link:

I did the update on my Ares II earlier today and am currently enjoying the results. It is definitely an improvement without question.

You can swap the modules back and forth wth different sound tracks to see what the differences will be between updated version and original. Denafrips recommended this to me since my computer skills weren't up to task to perform update.
