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]

@dvdboulet  I believe you will achieve good results with either DAC specific option. You'll have to figure out the +/- of a standalone pre vs an included volume control.

I'll add that there is a healthier resale market for Denafrips.

what's a wiser way to spend

I just received my Ares II yesterday and the left channel is not working through the single ended output.  I’ve emailed Alvin but no response yet.  I’m wondering if I need to wait for him to tell me to ship it to the closest support center or if I should contact them directly and get the process underway.  Not concerned about whether it will be covered, just the appropriate order of things.  Thanks,
