Thought I’d share: Nicely done and practical DAC review

Good write up. He missed at least one major difference - remote control of functions like inputs. For example Denafrips has none. After having this feature, I couldn’t live without it.

I have the Pontus ll and I thought about it not having a remote, but once I set it up, I rarely change anything. I have a Hegel H390 and it offers a DAC Loop option, where everything runs through the DAC, so the Hegel’s remote does the changes from streamer to CD transport and back.

Good for you. So not everyone NEEDS remote info. You don't need to know about setting Benchmark jumpers either

I like being able to choose among 5 streamers, a non network player and a CD spinner without having to get up.

Always been a fan of Darko and I really enjoy his reviews, especially the video reviews (they have a high polish to them). I never understood the negative feedback by some here on A'gon in past threads. Some really don't like the man.

All the best,

Yep talked equally about all 3 and didn’t mention a preference or winner?? I find that hard to swallow. 

Not trying to be a dick but most people (me) have a pretty clear preference. I get it cause they are getting money they don’t want to say. Darkos probably big enough this is his full time job so I get it and can’t piss anyone off too much. But still.
