Do you have a perfect digital marriage?
Ok here goes šŸ˜Š Innuos Zen Mini mkiii w/ Innuos LPS -> USB to Denafrips Iris DDC -> Denafrips Pontus 15thĀ  The qualities you quoted: "Organic, clean, musical, great separation of instruments, dynamic" Are exactly those I experience and ... 
Should I add a DDC?
Great, thanks guys, well done, you've got me thinking Hermes too now šŸ¤£  
Should I add a DDC?
Yep, with the Pontus šŸ‘  
Should I add a DDC?
Can only mirror jastralfuā€™s observations. I added an Iris to my Ares 12th-1, which I then replaced with the Pontus 15th; more of the same but with the uplift from upgrading to the Pontus Good luck, let us know how you get on if you decide to pul... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
Iā€™ve never heard a Venus or the previous Pontus versions so canā€™t compare with my Pontus 15th, but from what Iā€™ve seen on YT this does seem to be the case. Jayā€™s Iyagi review of the 15th popped on YT yesterday; he was of the same opinion. His adv...

Stack Audio Auva Isolator
@lollipopguild I havenā€™t yet, as I bought a new amp. They are next on my list though (the only thing on my list really). The only reason I hesitate, is because I bought the amp, and because my current footers do a good job under the ATCs on a su... 
A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC
@cooper52 thanks for the write-up, enjoyed it. Iā€™ve had the Pontus 15th for around 5 months, coupled with the Iris.(I originally ordered the Pontus 12th-1, I was was sent the 15th with no prior warning. This is documented in a post I made here on... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
Hi guys, Itā€™s been almost 5 months since receiving my Pontus 15th and started this thread. Initially I was caught up in the confusion re: Denefrips/Vinshine confusion at the time, but nearly 5 months living with the Pontus, coupled with the Iris ... 
Upgrade from Innuos Zen Mini Mkiii to Innuos Pulse
Hi @chemarcelo no I never did in the end; I wanted to try tubes (amp) and bought the Heaven11 Billie Mkii integrated and havenā€™t felt the urge/need to change anything else since. Lovely piece of kit by the way  
Denarips and Vinshine split
Your original title may be quite apt Denaf"rips".Ā  I don't think anyone would deny, Alvin and Vinshine have played a significant role in making Denafrips what they are today. With Denafrips recent mishandling of the 15th versions of DACs, the lau...

@member referral not working anymore
I'm glad it's not just me. I tried clearing browser cache etc thinking the issue was at my end  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
Well spotted; that's really interesting, and hence why Denafrips are saying for example the Pontus 15th is on the same level as the Venus, or words to this affect. But I agree, they really need to clarify what is going on  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
I agree with everything you've said there. It's a sorry state of affairs at Denafrips right now.
