@kray how did you connect the Iris to the Morpheus? A Phasure cable?
I’m also considering the Denafrips Hermes DDC. Do you know if it uses the same pin-outs as the Iris or does it not matter because I‘ve read that you can program the pin configuration via firmware on the Hermes?
Sonnet Audio Morpheus
But here’s another DAC worth some investigation.
Anyone here own one or heard one?
Opinions, impressions?
I read the 6Moons review where it earned a Blue Moon Award but
I find their reviews cryptic and the writing style difficult to follow.
Built in Netherlands, available in US.
Not cheap but far from the upper end.

@txp1 i had both the Hermes and Gaia but they are programmable so doesn’t matter. BUT the pin into the Morpheus is not common. I had a Cardas Clear RJ45/i2S cable made specifically for the Morpheus. |
@kray Hi kray, can you give me details on how to do this? Did the cable dealer know what to do or did you need to give specific pin-out details? Or did your Morpheus dealer assist? As you said, and I’ve also read that some people have needed to “program” the Denafrips Hermes by trying different I2S setups in the Hermes setup menu. Did you need to do that even with custom cable? Thank you for the assist! |
@txp1 sent you a PM Yes my dealer Rob at Audio Art Cable, knows the pinout and has the cable end that goes into Sonnet pinned correctly, and working with Denafrips DACs. I'm selling a Cardas Clear that is already pinned for Sonnet / Denafrips if you're interested. |
@kray thanks for the cable offer but I’m now leaning toward the Audio mirror Troubadour SE IV for several reasons, excellent USB input and lower output to my integrated amp are among those. |
