Changes in DAC Presentation - Need Advice


Hey all, I recently purchased a Denafrips Terminator II, and ever since I've noticed that some days the sound is sweet and natural, and other days it is forward and bright. I've even heard the sound change mid-song. Could this be due to fluctuations in my line voltage? Any other reason this may be happening?

System:

Mac Mini running Roon core

Sonore ultraRenu

Denafrips Terminator II

Pass XP-12 Preamp

Odyssey Audio Kismet Monoblocks

Focal Sopra 2

128x128topside3

Topside3.  Not true on 10 days that’s not even 250 hours try a month 

and other comments such as playing on repeat ,if you hav3 Roon it’s a must to keep playing it if not it’s like a car sitting on idle, you have to keep it playung

i bought the Isotek system demagnetizing cd ,burn that to hard drive ,not only does it tax capacitors,but track 3 you use3-4 x a week truly demagnetizes your whole audio system easy to hear improvement,play a song,before and after ,

email Alvin at Denafrips  1000 hoursto fully runin ,the 10 days is a old user ad ask for review mentioning over 650 hours of play time just to fully stabilize . And never put in stand by unless not home for days  you need in real time 1k in actual play time , I documented hours and  mentioned  issues once I was told hours and review then just puton repeat everyday to plsy 24-7;for 5 weeks straight !!

if you haven't already you should contact alvin at vinshine for warranty support immediately - needless to say, what you are describing should not happening

take the time to email him with a precise description of the issue, serial # of the unit etc etc

denafrips gives a ship-back-to-china-at-their-cost warranty period

I believe that you have a problem on the dac.   Breakin  is questionable at best and no major swings in audio should occur.  I use a Microsoft surface as a roon source, ultra rendu via usb to an audio gd r7 and the sq has been incredible and consistent since arrival

+1 @tennisdoc56  - break-in can offer long-term gradual improvements to many components but to swing SQ mid-song by such a noticeable level sounds like a major fault.
