DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
Thread for OWNER IMPRESSIONS, FEEDBACK, QUESTIONS, ETC. regarding DENAFRIPS DACs.
DENAFRIPS lists the following R2R DACs:
Ares, Pontus, Venus, and Terminator (in increasing price order).
"DENAFRIPS incorporated in year 2012, focus in developing high end audio equipment at a very affordable price. Throughout the years of intense Research & Development, and continuous improvement of the product lines, DENAFRIPS had finally settled with the current product range equipped with R-2R ladder DAC technology. The reason behind this is the designer strongly believe that R-2R DAC is the best way to reproduce music.
The name, DENAFRIPS, stand for:
D-ynamic
E-xquisite
N-atural
A-ttractive
F-idelity
R-efined
I-ntoxicating
P-ure
S-ophisticated
This mean a lot and it is the house-sound of all DENAFRIPS products." [Copied From Denafrips About Us section]

I've been using the Denafrips Terminator in a new 'system' chain for the past month. I have to admit I'm now in the 'amazed' camp in terms of how impressed I am with it's continued upward (performance) mobility and how well it continues to scale. New speakers. New amp. New preamp. New analog cables. New server/player, perhaps. New DAC...Nope. It's that good. |
I have to admit I'm now in the 'amazed' camp in terms of how impressed I am with it's continued upward (performance) mobility and how well it continues to scale. All traits of R2R Multibit dac conversion with PCM. We were really led astray when they stopped making them because of cost. And in place introduced far cheaper to make 1 bit, bitstream, Mash, ect ect ect all Delta Sigma dacs and able to convert sacd and dsd. I think sacd came out not long after the demise of R2R dacs that couldn't convert it. Was this more a marketing exercise to get rid of expensive to produce R2R and introducing cheaper Delta Sigma???

Jay Luong of Audio Bacon has posted updates (including I2S) to his Terminator review, therefore, I am reposting the link. A really strong comparative review vs. some other terrific DACs. https://audiobacon.net/2019/02/28/denafrips-terminator-review/ |
