"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.

I-ntoxicating
P-ure
S-ophisticated

This mean a lot and it is the house-sound of all DENAFRIPS products." [Copied From Denafrips About Us section]

Alvin got right back to me!  

He asked some questions about the AC power and lines in my home and suggested some troubleshooting of the mains. Definitely the right place to start.   

After ascertaining the  problem was not with the AC mains he offered to ship a new unit!

I’m thinking the unit was possibly damaged in shipping. Frustrating...yes. But these things happen sometimes.  It’s great to know when they do happen the manufacturer will be there for you. 

Hats off to Denafrips

Replacement Terminator arrived. Perfect. Yeah, it was a little frustrating to go through a return but it did allow an insight into their all important after sales support. If you’re concerned about buying overseas, based on my experience with Alvin and Denafrips, worry not! Review to follow....good stuff!😁
