I just replaced my Terminator (with the new DSP board) with the Terminator Plus. In spite of how good the Terminator is, the Plus just brings more in terms of quietness and detail. Particularly the bass notes are better delineated. I also added the Denafrips Iris, once the I2S was properly set up it brings more detail and air in the high end- kind of holographic with instruments almost directly left and right of my listening position. Once I enabled the clock out from the TP to the Iris- holy cow. So musical. Leading edges of bass notes jump out and then reverb and decay with such detail. Adding the Iris transformed the USB output from my Innuos Statement which I did not think was possible as I thought it was so good previously. I am a bit dumbfounded at how much I was missing. |
