Segnalazione aggiornamento Denafrips Ares II

Per i possessori di Dac Denafrips

Segnalo possibilità aggiornamento firmware Dac Denafrips Are II, inviare tramite modulo predisposto dati e foto del FPGA del proprio Dac e in poche ore avrete la risposta e il link per scaricare l'appropriato file. Nel mio caso il mio nuovo Dac era già aggiornato (Ares 12Th).

" ... DENAFRIPS DAC is equipped with Intel Cyclone:registered: IV E FPGA, Field Programmable Gate Array. The software running in the FPGA is called firmware; a specified, purposed-built operating instructions the DENAFRIPS DAC uses. It is the heart of the DAC where complex Digital Signal Processing is happening in the FPGA.
 
One of the beauties of the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), as the name suggested, it is Field Programmable.
 
DENAFRIPS DAC's FPGA firmware can be updated by using a Windows OS or MacOS computer over the USB port by a person with good computer knowledge. Most customers will be able to do it because it's fairly straightforward.
​
​
12th ANNV. FPGA FIRMWARE​
​
To commemorate DENAFRIPS’s 12 years of digital audio excellence, DENAFRIPS engineers have been working on a new 12th Annv. FPGA Firmware to improve the sound quality, add features, bugs fixed, update software and keep your device up-to-date. 
 
Areas of Improvement:
​

• Improved Adaptive FIFO Buffer & Reclocking Architecture
  
  
• Reduced the effect of Buffer overrun/underrun due to the Source's Clock and the DAC's Clock differences 
  
  
• Reduced Audio Latency 
  
  
• Eliminate Phase Difference between L/R Channels 
  
  
• Optimised DSP to improve the sonic performance

​
We will be rolling out the firmware by stages, starting with the Ares II / Enyo DAC.
​
Note: Firmware(s) for the Pontus / Venus / Terminator II/Plus will be rolled out at a later date. 
​
Please go through the following guide and requirements for the FPGA firmware update. Should you need further assistance, please [email=firmware@vinshineaudio.com?subject=Help:%20FPGA%20Firmware%20Update]contact us[/email].

WHAT IS REQUIRED?
​
You would need the following items in order to proceed:
​
[list=font_7][*]A Windows or MacOS Computer/Laptop with USB port

[*]Standard USB2.0 Cable

[*]Internet Connection (To download the driver and firmware packages)

[*]DENAFRIPS DAC

IDENTIFY THE FPGA MODEL CODE
 
Identify the model of the FPGA chip used in the DAC
​
[list=font_7][*]Each FPGA chip used in the DAC(s) is different

[*]You will need to identify the FPGA model code used in DAC

[*]To do this, it's required to open the top cover/chassis of the DAC
