While it is true that the FPGA architecture lends itself to being programmable and upgradeable, it shouldn’t be assumed they would all get one.

The Chord DAVE to my knowledge hasn’t had one. Neither has my Chord Mojo.

But both still sound as good today as they did before.

In fact, I still find the DAVE to edge out my PS Audio DirectStream with most inputs even when the PS Audio has had numerous updates. That said the gap has closed considerably when using the Memory Transport (I2S) and with the Network Bridge 2
