Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II

@ozzy62

glad you got your pontus ordered, it is an excellent dac and great value

of the several dena dacs i have tried i kept only the pontus

what streamer will you use? the current gen dena gear have an issue receiving higher res bitstreams from the b-s node, so be forewarned if that happens to be your streamer

good luck, have fun

I have a Lumin U1 mini. Think that will be an issue?

i am pretty sure it’ll be fine with the lumin, although i sold my lumin before this ’series 2’ dena stuff came out

it is some compatibility issue only just with the node coax digital out, for 96k and above, the dena input circuit won’t read it - i have not had this problem with any of the some 40 other dacs i have run over the past couple years... just this current gen of denafrips ones for some reason has this stupid problem

I've got the Ares 2 and absolutely love it....If I move up to the Pontus 2 will I really notice much of a difference....

I picked up a Terminator with the updated DSD board with the notion that I'd be able to enjoy the full spectrum of the Dac's resolution...well, turns out that the Terminator's isn't compatible with the usb2.0 port in my Aurender streamer. I reached out to Alvin and he quickly responded. Apparently I need a usb firmware upgrade which requires a windows computer and some knowledge of wtf your doing...neither of which I have. 🤦‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ The point I'm trying to convey here is...go new with Alvin and avoid the headaches.
