Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update

Interesting that they note there was a phase difference between the L and R, wonder how much it was?

@j_andrews - I sent the photo yesterday afternoon and received a reply today mid morning. Pretty quick. 

@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. 

Interested to know if anyone with a gen-1 Terminator has success with this upgrade. Getting into my Termi requires ripping apart my rig and I’m in no rush to deal with that.

Received the reply when I got up this morning and just completed the update via Mac OSX.

Was a fine process. *Note Mac users, the visual guide Vinshine sends uses screenshots from Monterey OS 12.0.1. If you’re using newer OS like I am (Ventura 13.2), the dialog boxes will appear a little different but you should be able to figure out all the appropriate steps.

I’m now listening to the upgraded Ares II via the Coax Spdif input (coming out of my Iris DDC). Can’t say if it’s sounding better necessary bc I just sat down to listen, but it certainly sounds good!

@jl1ny Currently it's only Ares / Enyo users who can do the update.  They are releasing the updates according to the model in batches so they don't get overwhelmed with support .   I believe the Terminators will be the last to get the email updates.
