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 |
@liquidsound - I've been using the NOS mode over the last couple weeks. Before the update, I thought NOS was too dull sounding, but I'm liking the way it sounds now. However, I haven't done any critical listening since shortly after doing the upgrade because I sold my woofer towers and haven't finished the replacements. My mains (open baffle planar magnetic line arrays) only play down to about 170Hz and rely on separate open-baffle woofer towers for the bottom ~3 octaves. I just picked up the cabinets, drivers, and amps this weekend so need to get them assembled and wired up - hopefully in the next few days. |
@jaytor Thanks for your quick response. I have been using the NOS almost exclusively since I've had the DAC, so I look forward to your opinions on it with the firmware upgrade once you get your speakers back on place. Regards, John |
