@gladmo The Pontus ii is very comparable to my current Hugo2, so for me it is more like a side way move rather than moving up the DAC ladder. In case you dont know, I am planning to use a DDC with my new Aquarius DAC, maximizing the i2s inputs.

@arafiq I am very nervous though. This is the first time I use r2r dac. I always use delta sigma DAC in my system, so I dont know what change I will introduce to my overall synergy. |
The Pegasus has a nice wide sound stage and is also deeper in sound stage than the Cutest. The base is effortless, fast, and tight although I do have four subwoofers. The midrange is very well balanced and smooth. The top end has great sparkle and good detail but yet doesn't cause fatigue. It's very well balanced and musical. A really enjoyable DAC. I use i2s input and the balanced xlr outputs to my preamp. I have no regret buying it and I'm sure I'll enjoy it for a few years at which time I'll see what has emerged onto the market and look at what is available at that time for an upgrade.
