dCS Vivaldi Upsampler Plus User Manual
Software History
dCS products make extensive use of software configurable chips – FPGAs and DSPs. This gives us

necessary also to increase the "capacity" of the electronics, add extra connectors or extra front panel
controls.
Please note that not all software updates produce an audible improvement. We recommend that you
keep your software up to date. Check the dCS web-site occasionally for news of the latest software
updates.
Update discs are available from our distributors. Before requesting an update disc,
