The pianos are fantastic!
The Venus II replaced a Schiit Modi 2 in my system. After about 300 hours of burning-in, it started to shine.
I mostly listen to classical music, and the pianos, the pianos are fantastic! Soundstage and holographic are incredibly achieved through the LRS. I think Alvin does not sleep in Singapore: his attention and availability are 24/7 and of the highest quality! Shipment to Brazil was flawless. System: NUC / Tidal / Roon Server ---> Venus II ---> Schiit Vidar (XLR) ---> Ma


The hype is real.
Here goes... Ares II: Simply Amazing.. At last i finally got my curiosity answered after receiving my Denafrips Ares II.

I am listening to many of my favorite CDs like hearing them for the first time. Wonderful product sir. Than


The Ares II gets the best out of my amplifier and speakers.
For years I have been used to my set up of Tannoy speakers and Naim amplifier but since the Ares II arrived, I discover new qualities. After seeing some reviews on the web and not fully satisfied by my previous DAC, I got curious. After some very rapidly answered emails I decided to take the leap and order the Ares II. The delivery was quick and correct. Installation of the Windows drivers was flawless although I had to get used that the driver does not appear when the Ares i


Ares has upgraded my system to the next level!
I have never done an audio review except to judge my own system in my mind. This is my first write up, and with Ares in my system is a fantastic upgrade and hence I thought let me try. Also the upgrade is from Modi to Ares which is an in-correct comparison (Why Schiit-Modi : because I was frustrated and wanted to cool down a bit, spend less now before I decide on a good DAC). I had Devialet a long time ago and I don’t remember for comparison, however I liked it at that time.
