| Can someone explain the clock sync? @jastralfu I know how to do it, I have it set up. What I wanted to know is what it does. How does it work? Thanks. @jond I just want to know what exactly it does. I am talking about the 2 BNC Cables connected to the clock output of the DAC ... | |
| Denafrips Terminator II 12th anniversary VS. Terminator PLUS 12th anniversary I recently got a new Terminator 15th. I have been "shopping" for my next DAC for over a year to replace my Venus II. I was being careful to get something I would feel was an upgrade and would be good enough to stop my desire for more, I cannot aff... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? I don’t know of this qualifies as to your question or if I am off base here, but...I have the Legacy Focus XD’s which produce (to my ears) the best bass I have ever heard. To control it I purchased the Matching Wavelet II outboard crossover/DSP/Pr... | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? @kairosman That is why I shipped my Venus II out yesterday, to it's new owner the resale values are in the tank. I sold it for a great price. | |
| Should I add a DDC? @kingbr It may sound fine but channels can be reversed and you have to keep trying different pin outs. | |
| Should I add a DDC? @kingbr Set your Hermes pin configuration to 000, then go through the pin settings on your Pontus with low volume until you get the undistorted music. Verify this afterward with test tones for left/right channels and phase. I just went through th... | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? @kairosman The New Venus 15th is a Terminator II it looks like to me. I just received a Terminator 15th yesterday which is really a Terminator + 12th + some FPGA adjustments. It's cooking in my system now, will listen in a few days. | |
| DDC Recomendations The Laiv has a switch mode power supply. | |
| Should I add a DDC? A Hermes + Pontus II will not be equal to a Terminator. However a Terminator II or Plus or 15th + Hermes with clock sync is even better. | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! The Venus II12th is a very high end DAC, it’s qualities are well layered soundstage with great width and depth, high level of detail yet delicate. It’s a ladder DAC so smoother sounding than delta sigma. You have a very fine DAC and I suggest you... | |
| DB-510 0.7m Oyaide BNC Cable? @mitch2 Thank you for the response, appreciated. | |
| DB-510 0.7m Oyaide BNC Cable? @westcoastaudiophile Thanks! | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC @cooper52 Well my DAC is taking longer than expected due to a backlog of orders at Denafrips. It's supposed to ship later this week. Then there is the burn in process so a comparison will be a bit. My clock cables just shipped from Japan. | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC Yesterday I ordered the Terminator 15th from Audioman58 to replace my Venus II. On a leap of faith because there are no reviews but I like the Denafrips house sound and I already have the Hermes and a good I2s cable. He told me it is exactly like ... | |
