Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ?


should read vs. not bs. TYPO   I can’t seem to be able to edit the title.  Sorry 
 

I am strongly, considering the terminator to 12th anniversary.
I did some research Red reviews, and a friend of mine actually has the plus which he loves my system consist of a Parasound halo amp and preamp all Morrow series 6 cables, and PBN speakers

for $5000. Do you think there is anything I should strongly consider without making this an impossible task

they currently have a Gustard X 26 pro which I will be replacing

Looking at specs of Terminator II 12th vs 15th - I only see a few differences:

Terminator II 12th (from Vinshine site):

  • Oven Controlled Crystals OCXO
  • THD: 0.08%(RCA), 0.004%(XLR)

  • S/N Ratio: 105dB(RCA), 115dB(XLR)

  • Warranty: 36 Months

  • Price USD $4,929.76

Terminator 15th - they seemed to have dropped the, "II" (from Denafrips site) :

  • High-end Oven Controlled Crystals OCXO
  • THD: 0.05%(RCA), 0.002%(XLR)
  • S/N Ratio: 110dB(RCA), 120dB(XLR)

  • Warranty: 12 Months (but their support page says 3 years)

  • Price  $6,099.00 (USD$ - not sure)

 

Wow that’s great information and thank you.  I do feel better knowing that non of those specs will affect my listening as  Distortion levels that low mean nothing at my listening levels and overall basically the same component   
this hobby is a step towards insanity for sure

Hey a tidbit of fun facts

. I know we’ve talked about highs and lows and breakin periods for bass …. Denafrips DACs love Boz Scaggs recordings and will show off any bass you thought you never had.  Play a few tracks and let me know your thoughts   We sometimes get so caught up on our equipment and cables and breakins …. Sometimes it’s just how it was recorded 

just my opinion 

@bobbyloans absolutely! "Silk Degrees" - I love the way it's been recorded. Drums and bass are done just how I like to hear them. And yep, even with the little Ares the album sounds great. Haven't listened to it with the Pontus 15th yet, but I will later, its 5:30am here; I don't think my long suffering other would appreciate me blasting Lido Shuffle 😂
