| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update These FW updates are system dependent, involving the system synergy. You have to try it in your own system to know if it is an improvement or not. After the first 3 days, if you like it, then that is it and it will get even better after the burn i... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update It seems to me that 1.3 and 1.4 FW are all improving the sound stage and transparency over the 1.0. However, if the system has tendency to harshness, the 1.4 is more suitable. And, if your system is on the warm side, then the 1.3 is preferable. M... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I had the first update on PII and fully burn in now. I don’t think I will try the newest FW. As of this morning, my PII sounded very good, actually "Fantastic". IMHO, the Lumin U2 mini plays a major role in the sound. And last week, I did the U2... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Reporting on burn in. I updated the new firmware on 4/6 and felt it immediately improved the sq like what sat7 had stated. With the advice from Vinshine, I have been patiently and curiously to hear any burn in difference in sq. Up until 4/30, it ... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I would like to give another input on this new firmware update. To tweak the DAC to your system or personal preference, we have the functions of NOS/OS and sharp/slow filter on OS. This is done by simply pressing some buttons. Now Denafrips has ... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update To everyone who is benefited from the updated firmware, I would put a value to this update solely based on my own experience. After the update, I felt my Chord TT2 has fallen behind. Then I figured that if I fed the P-II with Wireworld Platinum I... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I can only share my point of view and my system. After hearing the Merason, I knew the P-II was lacking the emotion in music especially the vocal. I was about to sell the P-II. Then the update firmware came along. It’s free of cost so I gave it a ... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @audiofilo123 "Changing my system to pursue the dac “new sound” seems really absurd to me." ------------------- I would have to agree with you on this. Now it comes to the realization of whether the new dac sound is actually an improvement to yo... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @audiofilo123 "Auralic Aries Femto connected with Audioquest Carbon USB and Belden 8402 from the dac to the amp." "After some listening hours I get the impression that, despite the enhanced soundstage and definition, there is also some kind of ar... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Besides the burn in, there are still other issues needed to be considered, such as system synergy and weak link in the system. The new firmware may not be the weakest link in your system. Or, it may just be not suitable to your system. And, if you... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I tried it with IFi Zen Stream -> Pontus II (via usb) this late morning. It sounded very good too. So far I only put about 20 hours after the update. I also need to mention that the articulation of the mid has improved. It added more emotion to... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I updated the firmware 3 days ago and it sounded much better than before. The tonal balance is much better from top to bottom. The bass used to be a little heavy comparing to my other dacs, Chord TT2 and Merason Frerot (BB chip based). I am very h... |
