@roxy54 it is indeed, height adjustable, (my speakers are fairly tall), reclines, has a small headrest and a foot rest. Quite comfy.

How might this effect those who already have ARC equipment? I own a preamp and am waiting delivery on a power amp. Both used.  
Cowboy Bebop Remake - The best Jazz on TV?
I'm nearly a year and a half late to this thread, but it was my kids who turned me on to CB music almost 20 years ago. Can't remember if it was my daughter or youngest son who bought the "Blue" soundtrack as a teen but I thought it was great. So g...

convert?
The only things plugged into my desktop are the Terminator Plus through USB 3.0 and a monitor per HDMI. I emailed Denafrips and asked about future possible 3.0 USB port installation in their DACs. I mentioned the drop outs and they responded sayin... 
convert?
@nmolnar I have frequent dropouts of some, not all, songs when upsampling to 48/1024. I just wondered if there was a way to utilize my computers 10 Gbps output to eliminate that. @noromance I found this on Denafrips website: Warning Please note ...

I use a Windows 11 desktop in order to utilize the Signalyst HQ Player. The computer and DAC are connected with a WyWires USB cable. The computer has outputs for USB 3.2 (Gen 2) type C with capability for 10 Gbps. Unfortunately the Terminator Plus... 
Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update
Just bought a T+ less than 2 months ago. Really enjoying the upgrade from my prior DAC (which was no slouch). From all I'm reading, I'll be looking forward to the firmware update in May. Thanks @dcespeedy for the added info. I'm a USB Windows user... 
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
I've had a few listening sessions with the Denafrips Terminator Plus DAC. I bought it to see how it managed 1024 upsamplling with the Signalyst HQ player. It's marvelous. Speccy shows the temp of my Alienware computer's GPU and CPU stays in the gr... 
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
@thyname you're quite intuitive. And thanks for the congrats. Once I've run the T+ through a few hoops I'll post what I find.  
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
Thank you all for your input. I almost purchased a Terminator 2 last week. (Un)fortunately it sold just before my inquiry. But wouldn't you know the very next day a T+ went up for sale. I'm waiting for its delivery this week. I guess the deciding ... 
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
No? Then how about the Denafrips Terminator II. Is it a step up from the T+A DAC 8DSD?
