Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
Hi guys,
I'm confused (doesn't take a lot 🤔)
I ordered a new Pontus 12th-1 direct from Vinshine about 8/9 days ago; it was delivered this morning, but, it wasn't a Pontus 12th-1 I unboxed - it was a Pontus 15th????
I had no idea, and haven't come across, or read anything that there was a new version coming.
I've emailed Vinshine, but with the time difference, they're probably all tucked up in bed right now in Singapore; while I wait for a response, does anyone else have a clue about this "15th" version?
I'd post a picture of the front panel, but I have no idea how to upload photos on A'gon
Thanks for reading 👍
@marco1 thanks for this, I wouldn't have read that thread normally as the Terminator is outside of my budget. I've had a response from Annie at Vinshine; Annie wrote "the Support Team will reply to your email". So, eagerly awaiting for the reply 🤔😊 @audphile1 🤣🤣🤣 funnily enough, that did cross my mind for a fleeting moment in my initial confusion 🤪 |
@curiousjim thanks 👍 I haven't given it much of a listen to be honest; I was so confused, I wasn't really taking it in as I normally would when receiving a new component 😊. What I did hear from it was impressive, considering I only had it plugged in and listened to it for about half hour. The Pontus replaced the Ares 12th-1 which I bought on auction on a whim in February. I was so impressed I added the Iris 12th, which was a nice uplift. But I was so impressed with the little Ares, I took the plunge on a Pontus. I'm very interested to see what Vinshine comes back with, and also to find out what changes have been made for the 15th. I'll update as soon as I hear back again 👍

@kairosman yeah, I was surprised to say the least. I didn't even notice the "15th" on the front plate of my unit until after I'd configured the I2S pin out 😂. I paid the normal 12th-1 price allowing for S$ to UK £ conversion, plus I took advantage of the offer of S$149 off for Vinshine loyalty membership. |
