Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update

I’ll second what other users have said in regards to the effects of the Pontus II update: I noticed increased clarity and more detail right away. The bass may be firmer and perhaps lessened a tad. Someone else mentioned a brighter sound and that may result in a perception of lighter bass. The sound may have lost a smidge of the organic feel at the expense of detail but I enjoy the detail. We’ll see how much the sound changes with break-in but I’m happy I did the upgrade.

Make sure you download the latest version of all files vs using what you may have installed from a previous firmware update as my upgrade process failed at the last step until I installed the latest software versions.

After reading some saying a little brighter and not as organic has anyone decided to hold up on the update? I was planning on doing an update on my Pontus 2 this weekend but may hold off until more have spoken up on their results.
 

I’m very happy with the detail and bass I’m getting now if I need more Im guessing I can change out cables or tubes. Gaining better bass and sound stage is very appealing but if at the cost of losing it’s natural presentation it is a concern for me. I’m sure there is no going back after update.

I updated my Pontus II the other day. I'm still on the fence regarding the sound change. Seems like there's been a significant boost in treble. 

I'm getting glitches that sound like a brief skip that didn't happen before the update. It happens when playing a playlist of mixed tracks and consistently at the 10 to 12 second mark. Happens with my WiiM Pro connected by coax as well as my Primare NP5 connected with toslink. Decreasing the volume didn't help.

That ain't good. You should contact Alvin to see if he can help.

I have a Pontus II in my secondary system which I did the recent FPGA firmware update for and I found the sound quality changes to be sweeping improvements. Very happy with it, and hearing similar results in quality to what most here have been saying. I'm using the NOS mode now instead of the OS mode because it sounds good. Has it been confirmed by Vinshine Audio that this DAC now features a true non-oversampling mode with the recent firmware update?
