"The DENAFRIPS Pontus gives me what I've always wanted from a DAC. It connected me with the music on a high level, and transported me much closer to an analog experience. It checked all my boxes. At this very reasonable price, about $1600 US, I can't really find any downside. Perfect, no, but I'm thinking maybe digital is no longer the compromise it used to be. There are other R-2R DACs out there, but in my opinion, no one gets it done as well as DENAFRIPS at this price. The Pontus is easy to recommend, and for the first time in many years I bought the review sample. Well done."
