I was lucky enough to have acquired David’s Terminator and I couldn’t be happier!

Its a superlative DAC that has transformed my musical enjoyment. I didn’t realize just how much information was on my cd’s......yeah, I still spin them.
I’ve been fortunate to have owned DAC’s from Border Patrol, Concert Fidelity, PS Audio and the Schitt Yggdrasil and the Denafrips Terminator brings more musical enjoyment to my ears........ by far. It has the uncanny ability to portray crystalline clarity and detail while being extremely musical. 

I can only imagine how magical the T+A that replaced this unit must sound and I’ll have the good fortune of actually hearing it in a couple of weeks. 
Thank you David, being able to purchase your Terminator, it has brought me musical joy that will be appreciated for many years.

Pure adulterated dealer BS. When he was selling it, it was the best DAC under $100,000. Now he isn't selling it & it's a mediocre DAC worth $1,800.
Who would be stupid enough to ever listen to this guys opinions ever again.

@thenewguy007. Yea I hear you...was going to get a ares but never heard back after sending an email...did get the kinki int from him...which I like
