Thanks for the new year wishes!

One of the perks of being a business owner is .... there is no such thing as time off.

Danasam, I have a Pontus. Did you ever consider buying an Iris or Gaia to use with it or do you think it would not be needed? I just wondered because you would be able to use the i2s connections. Thank you.
I live in Toronto Canada. 
Here is my Journey to the Terminator II. .
I boght the Denaflips Ares II first. Wow ! sounded very good. I sold it 3 months later and bought the Venus II .. wow ! Wow ! It sounded better :) around 5 months later i sold it and bought the Terminator II ...and I just love it ...

The Terminator II is an amazing DAC.. it sounds extremely linear. I hear somethings that I had never heard before especially from the low frequency. .. the soundstage is huge and holographic with very good image and details. .even when I listen at very low volumn at late night, I can still hear everything I just mentioned above. ..
I bought my Terminator II from Singapore, from vinshine Audio, and Alvin is the distributor. He is a very honest, straightforward  and very fast in response to any of my questions .
Happy listening !!!
