Thanks sat7. Great to know it works out well for your VII and I will definitely give it a try when the update is available for my T+ in mid May :)
I finally was able to do the firmware update on my denafrips ares and it's a relief that I was able to without bricking my dac. I was hoping for a bigger improvement than it is though. I think it (dac) has a little more depth, and it didn't cost me anything so I'll take it. Thank you Alvin for being so helpful. |
Updated my Ares II this weekend with the 12th anniversary FPGA code with no issues. The sound improvement is noticeable right away. I will sit and listen to NOS a little to compare to previous version. I still prefer the slow filter compared to the fast. I'll give it some time to burn in and do some more critical listening. Thanks to Vinshine for making this update possible. |
@accuracyman I am amazed how most audio gear needs to break in, I got my firmware updated a few days ago and it does seem to be sounding better. I really don't understand the science and people telling me that there is a lot of snake oil. If I would have listened to these people my system would not sound half as good as it does now. That guy Amir on youtube who measures everything doesn't believe in anything he can't measure, and I "know" there is more to it even though I don't fully understand it. |
