I have heard the terminator vs the terminator +
theterminstor is a excellent sounding very natural sounding dac especially after this new processor board was implemented thst too allowshigh dsd files.
he plus has bigger power supplies ,and even better parts quality
and weighs in at 44 lbs. it is very very natural sounding it takes the
terminator to another lever .in fact for $6500 I know of no digital or
turntable at $15k thst can beat it in overall musicality, and I go to Hifi get togethers and my brother having $20k turntable setups and digital , yes his DCSvRoseini is a little bit more fleshed out
and refined maybe 5-6% better for a number but it is $25k ,and I looked inside Many world class named parts .it has femto clocks over controlled precise , huge isolated seperate section linear power supply Swiss Silmic filter caps just to name a few and .005
or better tolerances for each of the 4 big Resistor ladders and there are 100s of them . Vs the $14k msb R2R dac this IMO was
Clearly better ,as well as much cleaner and detailed the the $18 k
Lampizator golden gate tube dac ,now quite as lush but still a natural warmth that just glows huge soundstage great micro,macro dynamics ,and excellent focused imaging.
i do need to mention always leave in ,,not in stand by for it take
a solid 4-500 hours to fully runin ,and if turn pd off 4-5 days to sound optimum ,as with many top quality dacs . You may find you
like a super lush presentation like the Lampizator ifyou amp speakers are cooler but the Terminstor + is very natural with a very good balance of warm but not syrupy lush warm with all the deep Bass sweet open top end and even makes older CDs sound much more listenable . I currently have the Latest Denafrips Pontus and it replaces the latest Schiit Yggsdrasil ,itis thst good
and at $1800 delivered excellent and a nice balanced natural sound . Yes I am saving for the Terminstor plus but in the meantime very good Vinshine Audio is the distributor in Singapore.
the shipping DHL included is on average 5 days or less ,and
all units tested retested for over 100 hours before shipping to drastically prevent failure rate .very rare for any company .
