Denafrips Pontus 2 Price increases


Has anyone else noticed the the price of Denafrips Dac's have had two significant price increase in the last 12 month

Yes they did make "upgrade changes" but a 30% increases seems to be excessive

The Pontus 2 went from $1750 to $2,449

I am now having to consider an alternative   your thoughts

@sawbuck Congrats on your new Dac and anyone could make a mistake like that don't worry. And totally agreed @soix 

@jetter What is the threshold of number of post that constitutes the right to voice one's opinion on this forum, 100 or 1000, or...?

The OP provided false info and, having class, admitted to his mistake.

@sawbuck Let me join the crowd congratulating on your move. I am pretty sure you will not regret it.

@sawbuck You are going to love it. It needs at least 300 hrs of break in. You will hear all changes it goes through until it settles in.

That is a rip off , for when they went to the 12 th anniversary 

they used to use Nichicon capacitors from Japan ,now just OEM caps fromChina

also they used to use Swiss Silmic caps , less quality more money.

Audio-musician Pegasus , and one higher model the Aquarius are a much better product for less monies, better-parts quality ,check out their reviews I have one in my 2nd audio system and indeed under the cover parts are noticeably better quality.
