if you want to pay that kind of money Big Dog.   You go to Playback Design  Why horse around 

I got one from GTT Audio in May. It replaced a Yggdrasil A2. No regrets with the purchase.

Ok thanks jjss49! I will probably stick with Pontus II. So for sure with Pontus II you don't trade resolution with less warmth compared to Ares II? I read most reviews like Calvin Hobbes and of course your impressions it's a win win but only one review on Twittering Machines hints Pontus II gives more resolution  but at the expense of sounding less analog like Ares II!  Would you agree?

I wouldn't doubt it navyachts! My Ares II handlily displaced Chord Qutest. So price is not always indicator of quality of sound. But I keep writing tests have to conducted level matched and not knowing which dac is in the chain when auditioning.

Hey jjss49! I recently saw Hans latest video! His new reference is Chord Dave with Mscaler!
