Ascend Audio vs DGA Control

Ascend is the companion app for the Dutch & Dutch 8c. It guides you through the initial set-up and offers fine-grained control over the system's features. This includes setting up custom filter profiles, room correction, switching input and phase mode as well as updating firmware.

Make Cuore One your own. DGA Control is the companion app for the Cuore One in-car DSP controller by Damn Good Audio. Personalize its lighting and display, enable a live voltage overlay on the controller, and install controller firmware updates from your phone. Requires Cuore One hardware and a supported HELIX, BRAX or MATCH DSP. LIGHTING THAT FITS YOUR INTERIOR Choose a custom RGB color for the ambient light ring, or let it follow the active volume bank. Set the ring's brightness independently, sync brightness with the DSP, or switch the ring off. YOUR DISPLAY, YOUR PREFERENCE Choose a volume readout in decibels or percentage. Adjust Cuore One's screen brightness separately to suit your preference. VOLTAGE IN VIEW Enable a real-time system voltage overlay on Cuore One's display to keep voltage visible alongside your volume readout. CONTROLLER UPDATES FROM YOUR PHONE Install over-the-air firmware updates for Cuore One through DGA Control. COMPATIBILITY AND SETUP Cuore One supports select HELIX, BRAX and MATCH DSPs on the Audiotec Fischer ACO platform. Initial controller setup and volume-bank configuration require DSP PC-Tool. Compatibility depends on the DSP model, supported software and firmware versions, and the correct connection hardware. Some DSPs use a Control Input connection, which additionally requires the DGA Bridge cable and a separate fused 12 V supply. For supported DSP models, visit damngoodaudio.com. For confirmed DSP software and firmware combinations, visit damngoodaudio.com/pages/supported-versions. DGA Control updates Cuore One's firmware. DSP software and ACO firmware are managed separately. Cuore One needs a confirmed combination of DSP PC-Tool and ACO firmware to connect, so if your system is working, we recommend not upgrading your DSP's software or firmware until we have confirmed the new version.
