Thread for OWNER IMPRESSIONS, FEEDBACK, QUESTIONS, ETC. regarding DENAFRIPS DACs.

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
E-xquisite
N-atural
A-ttractive
F-idelity
R-efined
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]

I was looking at their Hestia/Hyperion combo (which looks to be an amazing preamp/amp) and wanted to see what the current price of the Kinki Studio ex-m1 but saw only Denafrips. Not a big deal was I thought for sure Alvin used to deal Kinki Studio.

BTW, I sent Denafrips a message a few days ago asking about the Hestia and haven't heard or seen a response. I decided to send Vinshine a message regarding the same thing and got a reply within 10 minutes. After reading and seeing some awesome reviews of the Hestia/Hyperion I can't believe there's not more talk about them, especially if they are in the same vein as their dacs.

Hi @t_ramey ,

Yes i am still carrying those products. I will take this private as not to violate the forum's rules. 
Will be sending you an email shortly. 

Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Very high praise indeed.  The Terminator make a great pairing with my Musica Pristina A Capella server via HDMI with I2S.

@rdoc   Yes, it's a solid, slam-dunk recommendation! Also, good to hear Steve compare the Terminator and Yggdrasil.
