Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II

Stevebohnii,

I haven't connected the Iris DDC yet. I've got two cables that I'm still breaking in: Audioquest Vodka 48 8K and a Supra 2.1 8K cables, and then I'll start testing them between the Iris and Pontus II.

I have read nothing but positives from adding the Denafrips DDCs to their DACs, hoping to have the same great results you have seen......probably in a couple of weeks I'll start adding the DDC to the system

@vthokie83 please write back after you have tested the I2S with your Iris. Can wait to hear about your results. 

@ Stevebohnii:

Well I bet if you tried the Clear Beyond PC you didn't take it off.  I borrowed a CB PC from another component in another one of my systems to try on my Pontus.  Lets just say I'm looking for another PC now to use on the component it came off of, lol.  Actually the Clear Beyond PC is an older model which is more like todays Clear, plus I bought it used at a good price, so not quite as crazy a combination as it seems, but definitely worth it in my case.

@jjss49 mind sharing what you moved on to DAC wise?

I have had suggested to me by a few audiophiles I should think about an Audio GD DDC, over any of the Denafrips range.

On their advice, I have ordered an Audio GD DI-20HE.

Then will have around $400 mods before receiving it.
