ENYO 15TH
"One of The Best R-2R DACs under $1000, Upgraded"
In celebration of DENAFRIPS's 15 years of exceptional digital audio expertise, the Enyo 15 th Anniversary Edition incorporates highly sought-after features such as I²S input, a redesigned anodised aluminium chassis, and various performance enhancements.
If you're a music enthusiast who values high-quality, expressive, and analog-like sound, the Enyo 15 th DAC could be a crucial component in your stereo audio setup.
To achieve a decent sounding R-2R DAC, the use of ultra-precise resistors is necessary. The cost of high precision resistors is expensive, each resistor must be stringently measured and matched by machine with human intervention to cross-check. These results in a very high cost in the manufacturing process, hence, R-2R DAC is also a symbol of high-end DAC.
DSD decoding support up to DSD1024 and PCM decoding supports up to PCM1536. Choice of NOS or OS,Slow or Sharp filters,the Enyo upgrade just make the already awesome DAC a few notches better!
