Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
@grh1958 - Safe to assume that your post isn't representative of the order that you tried things?  You went through the official process of sending Vinshine a picture of your chip and then attempted to follow the instructions upon their reply with... 
Bluesound Node 2I Power Supply Update
I have received the LHY power supply bundle and done the installation.  I didn't get a night and day difference, but do think that it changed things for the better.  For anyone else that does this, the install went smoothly.  The point of confusio... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
I did a little listening today comparing the various modes on my Ares II and I think I still prefer the OS Slow filter.  The OS Fast filter felt like something had been lost and the NOS seemed to have a bit more bloom which sounds good but I misse... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
@mksun - Do you have any explanation for how an FPGA update could benefit from a break-in?   I thought something had finally identified that could be agreed up on that break-in wasn't a factor for, but you're not alone. An FPGA update doesn't ch...

@dskusa - "According to Vinshine, it is recommended to perform a burn in due to the new logic in the FPGA." Can you provide a source for this?  I was so hopeful that I'd finally found something that audiophiles could agree didn't benefit from a b... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
I'm part of a Denafrips group on FB and the Pontus updates seem to be getting a much higher percentage of mixed reviews after the firmware update than the Ares II. I'm now really curious to see how things play out as the upgrade is released to ea... 
Bluesound Node 2I Power Supply Update
For an update, I sold my old DAC and have reinvested the funds into the LHY power supply upgrade including the linear power supply.  As a Denafrips DAC owner I've really appreciated the customer service approach that Alvin Chee has provided as par...

@goex54 - I had a few pops and clicks prior to the firmware upgrade.  Not enough to bother me, but enough to know what it was from my online reading.  Post firmware upgrade, I can't say that I've had any but have not spent a lot of time listening.  
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
@erik_squires - I'll be curious to see if your tip resolves the issue.  I have not had a lot of time to listen since the firmware upgrade, but have not yet had the things described @geox54 happen.  I'm using a Bluesound Node 2i with the volume fix... 
un-becoming an audiophile
I’m certainly drawn into the audiophile word more from the equipment side than the music side. I’m not particularly musical which may be why my repertoire of music is relatively small and I don’t actively seek out new music very often. I tend to s... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
@erik_squires - It would be interesting to know for sure. I can tell you that it’s a pretty significant improvement. I was initially impressed, but the more I’ve listened today the more impressed I’ve become.

@j_andrews - I sent the photo yesterday afternoon and received a reply today mid morning. Pretty quick.   
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
@thyname - "Tricking" would be a fair assessment.  I think he would see the humor in it or I wouldn't do it.  
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
@jond  - "Conspiracy Theory" is probably too strong of a word.  I was just referring to the classic debate on how much the price of a given wine impacts the experience.  Can most people really tell the difference between different wines that cost ... 
Bluesound Node 2I Power Supply Update
@jetter - I had overlooked that.  Thanks.
