Out of curiosity, are there a lot of Windows users here?
Hey guys,
Greetings!
We will be rolling out the FPGA firmware update by stages. Ares II / Enyo will be the first, follows by Pontus II and so on.
Notes:
1. The FPGA firmware update is for all DENAFRIPS DACs with the latest FPGA BGA chip.
2. It does not apply to the older DSP (Amanero, released in 2017-2019). If you have a DENAFRIPS DAC purchased after 2020, in general, it is upgradable.
3. The firmware update fixes some bugs, and enhance the sound quality for all digital inputs
4. The firmware update changes the NOS response to what Vinshine Audio believes it's NOS (Raw, Staircase Waveform output for 44.1kHz / 48kHz)
Areas of Improvement:
- Improved Adaptive FIFO Buffer & Reclocking Architecture
- Reduced the effect of Buffer overrun/underrun due to the Source's Clock and the DAC's Clock differences
- Reduced Audio Latency
- *Eliminate Phase Difference between L/R Channels
- Optimised DSP to improve the sonic performance
Steps:
1. Identify the FPGA chip used in the DAC
2. Submit a FPGA Firmware Request via the webform found in the link below
3. Vinshine Audio shall provide a Firmware Update Tool (FUT) specifically made for the particular FPGA chip and DAC model
4. Use a Mac or Windows computer to update the firmware as detailed in the link below
