DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
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]

The Next Best Thing Studio’s video review of the Ares 2 DAC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa1MswOqYpk Fantastic Review. Refreshingly real. Note, the Ares 2 is USD ~$760 (per today’s exchange rate)...I believe the reviewer is using Canadian Dollars. |
Hello guys, Thank you for the support! Happy holiday season! Enjoy the music :) Best, Alvin www.vinshineaudio.com |
Just plugged a Denafrips Ares II into my system and its an immediate noticeable improvement from my previous DAC: the PS Audio Sprout100 internal DAC, which I was already impressed with over an older Peachtree Nova 220SE internal DAC. I'd argue the space is doubled, highs higher, vocals clearer, bass lower. I use a CD of Seal's 1991 album as my reference. One unfortunate complaint however which I have yet to mention to Denafrips, is there is a somewhat minor but low hum from the DAC when plugged in. For me, this is not acceptable. It's apparent when plugged in and turned on. I've testing with nothing else connected and in multiple locations around my home and I've testing multiple power cords. |
