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

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 !!! Henry |

I ordered the Pontus II a few days ago. I really like my current DAC, the Border Patrol SEi. I just got curious after years with the BP. I'm trying not to bring any bias to my evaluation of the Pontus but I'll be surprised if I prefer it to my BP. The BP has a warm, organic quality that I really like. Plus, Gary Dews of BP provides great customer support. I hesitated to make the purchase once I realized I couldn't return it. If it doesn't work out I'm hoping I'll be able to sell it. But I'll certainly give it a fair chance. |
