Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update

Burn-in on a software patch? Really? On what basis might that be required?

And no, I am nothing like a reflexive skeptic.

agree 100%, life in the ocd audiophile bubble leads to some strange beliefs

Since the used Terminator mewsickbuff purchased doesn’t registered in Vinshine database, it was most likely through gray market. Not that I’d owned many gears, but in my 40 years of High-end audio pursue, I can count in one finger that offers free firmware upgrades to gray market and used equipment owners. Vinshine.
 

Enough said.

I could not agree with whipsaw more…(I DO believe in burn-in of capacitors, speakers…new gear in general)….well-used Pontus II, here…Only tried the 1st update. Definitely too bright for this Bobo Boy!  I feel silly now for running the unit for 200 hrs. thinking there would be a change…THERE WASN'T. 😄…Here is my proof…re-installed the original firmware and POOF!!, MIRACULOUSLY the original sound was back….no "burn-in required! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have been smiling ever since. 😄…I did not bother with the next iteration…why mess with perfection…but I do think it’s VERY COOL that the versions are on offer! 👍🏼

not to make this discussion about what is burn in... but i guess it would be true if after a firmware update making the treble forward and shrill, the burn in needs happen to one's ears and brain!!!  🤣
