@jaytor Thanks for your input and information on your Terminator-Plus firmware update. I have a Terminator-Plus however have not yet tried the firmware update. My system has a good deal of treble energy presently and what I really don't need is more of it. I'm all for improvements in the soundstage, mid-range and other listening parameters. It sounds like many are pleased with their other Denafrips DAC upgrades, but not much information on the Terminator-Plus that I could find. Now that you've had some "miles" on it with the new upgrade, can you shed some light on what you're hearing with the changes ? Thanks ! John

@liquidsound - I've been using the NOS mode over the last couple weeks. Before the update, I thought NOS was too dull sounding, but I'm liking the way it sounds now. However, I haven't done any critical listening since shortly after doing the upgrade because I sold my woofer towers and haven't finished the replacements. My mains (open baffle planar magnetic line arrays) only play down to about 170Hz and rely on separate open-baffle woofer towers for the bottom ~3 octaves. I just picked up the cabinets, drivers, and amps this weekend so need to get them assembled and wired up - hopefully in the next few days. |
@jaytor Thanks for your quick response. I have been using the NOS almost exclusively since I've had the DAC, so I look forward to your opinions on it with the firmware upgrade once you get your speakers back on place. Regards, John |
@liquidsound I suggest you try it yourself. It is not hard at all, especially if you have a Mac laptop. Once I downloaded the firmware update tools, it took me less than 3 minutes to update my T-Plus to V3.7 and the same to revert it back to V1.0. To my ears, the sound of V3.7 is more detailed and focused with more texture and 3-dimentionality. Yes, there is more treble energy as far as I can tell. Also, the sound is not as lush and rich, and less forgiving (for bad recordings) as V1.0. |
