I always thought it was hardware as illustrated by the following.
ADH technology sheet

I don’t see how a change to firmware could upgrade ADH to ADH2.
Taking a big leap in speculation that the Devialet dac is software based, the signal would have to bypass the ADH TI dac but still connect to the ‘magic wire’. A software dac would also presumably require additional computing power and storage. Something unlikely to be going spare in the Phantom.
