Anyone regretting Pontus 2 firmware upgrade

I’ll wait 300 hours and see if others find the 300 hours did the trick, letting everything settle back down. Maybe some will report back 300 hrs did it. I’m a firm believer in break in, but update burn in , that’s new to me. What burns in?

Yeah, I hear ya, but it don’t cost nothing to see if it helps.  

No regrets for the upgrade and no desire to roll it back. I’m hearing more detail, a slightly wider soundstage and improved bass. I have mine set to NOS mode as I did before the upgrade. 

Like the other posters, I'm experiencing notably greater clarity (but not harshness/brightness) and better soundstage. Bass sounds maybe a bit tighter, not much change there on my system. Overall, a very positive improvement, imho. However, if you really love the sound you're currently getting, you should probably skip the upgrade. If it ain't broke....

I'm holding off a bit.  A few weeks ago I opened it up to get the pic of that chip and there is "stuff" on it.  Whitish smudge of something, almost covering the number.  Did not expect that on a piece of audio equipment at this level.  Sent both Vinshine and Denafrips an email(w/pic).  The response was disappointing. Very nonchalant about it.  "Just some leftover flux or such during fabrication.  Do not worry.  Clean it off."  Huh!?  I don't want to touch it and asked to please send me a replacement DSP.  No go.  They ignored my request and just sent me the download instructions w/order #.

What should I think?  Am I making to much a deal about it?
