Received my Denafrips Venus 15th

Maybe off topic but has anyone gone from any edition of a Pontus to any of the Venus models? Out of the whole line, those two seems so close that I'm not sure what the extra expenditure get us. I have experience with both of them but never at the same time or in the same system.

My understanding is the new Pontus 15th is the old Venus ii. All version 15th Dacs received a substantial upgrade with Denafrips selling direct to the end user now. 

From what I can gather the Arcas has a better clock, but if you are using the clock sync between the Arce and the Venus 15th then it is taking advantage of the better OCXO clock in you Venus so most likely there would be no advantage of the higher priced Arcas. It looks like everything else is equal? Also it appears that you use 2 BNC  clock cables for 45 and 49 khz clock sync.

@zaxx40   There is a USA Dealer too, @Audioman58 in MA. I got my Terminator 15th from him.

Yes dual cables for clock out of the Venus to the Arce. 
 

Unfortunately I am in Canada so I think it is still cheaper to buy direct.
