Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update


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.

Has anyone updated the firmware for the Venus or Venus II? If so, can you describe the sound? 
 

thanks. 

@audibleguy - all Denafrips anniversary models have the new firmware. From what Alvin said, only II models can get the update. Double check, but that’s my understanding.

 

I‘m a Pontus ii owner but was wondering if anyone has uploaded the new FW for the Venus and Venus ii. If so, how does it sound?  

@dman1974 and @liangx5 - thank you both for the responses. I have the Pontus ii connected to an Hermes via I2S and am enjoying the new FW. I do not find the new FW to be too bright or harsh. My system is very relaxed and neutral and think the additional detail and expanded soundstage sounds great. I’m going to wait until the new FW is released and try it next but I have to say, I’m enjoying the latest upgrade. I know it is system dependent and can understand why many are going back to the earlier FW.
