Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
Don't do this to me. I have a WA22 and have been thinking of trying a 300b amp, but was going to put it off for awhile since I bought the Tungsten lol.- Ricey20

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
Thanks for the impressions! I also have a decked out WA22 that I was wondering would be good enough for the tungsten and this makes me feel better about it. I have been thinking of trying 300b amps though (Cayin or something) but at least now I can take my time with that. Any word on what Ryan...- Ricey20

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
He could simply hire more people and become more like DCA or ZMF. He could submit a patent app for his current R&D tech if he was really worried, just like how DCA and ZMF does, and have stipulations in contract for the people he hires. I don't see him wanting to get picked up by a bigger...- Ricey20

DENAFRIPS FPGA Firmware Update (12TH Anniv.)
It's possible. Though I did have it in a well ventilated area, plus extra feet that elevated it higher than normal. Honestly not sure. Also not sure if it had something to do with my USB glitching but I used it via coax mostly. I contacted Vinshine, hopefully they can help me out with this. This...- Ricey20

DENAFRIPS FPGA Firmware Update (12TH Anniv.)
Welp, besides the problems I was having with my USB input, my Ares II shut itself off and won't turn back on. After the firmware update it's shut itself off maybe 3x since then, usually taking a few days before it does. Before I would turn it off or unplug it for a minute and it would power back...- Ricey20

DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
Yup tried different USB cables and different ports. I tried to reinstall the firmware but still gives me error 044 or something. Supposedly it throws that error if it's already the same version. Edit: Not only that, the sounds I do hear when it's not stuttering sounds like it's sped up...- Ricey20

DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
I got exclusive playback working but it still stutters. Before the firmware update my USB was basically plug and play without any issues. With the new firmware it still works fine with DDC>Coax, just USB stutters for some reason. Even if my player is set to WASAPI Exclusive or ASIO it still...- Ricey20

DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
Interesting. Yea I did try it again, from the lowest to the highest. It didn't seem to help or change anything at all in my case. Just constant stuttering, some sounds are missed (windows sound effects).- Ricey20
