@dandaroy I need to listen more (unrelated server issues have kept me from listening lately), but my initial impressions were different. I found the sound slightly better, and no worse in any respect. I guess YMMV, but, so far, I don't intend to revert to previous firmware on my Pontus II. |
These FW updates are system dependent, involving the system synergy. You have to try it in your own system to know if it is an improvement or not. After the first 3 days, if you like it, then that is it and it will get even better after the burn in. However, if you don't like it, then that means your system can't take the advantage of the FW update. No problem, you can always go back to your original setup. It is just like any upgrade that all audiophiles do. |

@jaytor Thanks for your input and information on your Terminator-Plus firmware update. I have a Terminator-Plus however have not yet tried the firmware update. My system has a good deal of treble energy presently and what I really don't need is more of it. I'm all for improvements in the soundstage, mid-range and other listening parameters. It sounds like many are pleased with their other Denafrips DAC upgrades, but not much information on the Terminator-Plus that I could find. Now that you've had some "miles" on it with the new upgrade, can you shed some light on what you're hearing with the changes ? Thanks ! John |
