The reflashed Ares ll (with the 12th Annv. FPGA Firmware) easily out performs the rest of the DACs I own. Since the reflash it is a perfect balance of smooth warmth coupled with perfect musical detail. The small nuances it brought out in Beth Hart and Diana Krall's voices brought them right into the room, full engagement from a listening standpoint.
Thank you for the upgrade, I am impressed by the results and your commitment to customer service and the hobby/lifestyle we all love.
