Denafrips Terminator performing admirably
Still waiting for my streamer (Innous Zenith Mk3). My previous streamer-DAC was Naim NDS+555 Power Supply. So, not so easy to beat...Now using Mac Mini as streamer... But Denafrips Terminator performing admirably. I hope by the time the Innous arrive, it will be a highly elevated performance level with the Terminator!

Wow is all I can say • Iris + Terminator-Plus
Yes, the Terminator-Plus is delivered. I set it up Tuesday evening and am burning it in. The Iris came last week and I plugged it in to the Terminator. Initially it was awful but gradually improved but was not as good as the USB from the Innuos Statement. When I tried to use it (Iris) with the Terminator-Plus it made an awful screeching sound. I realized the I2S was set up for my W4S Music server. I set it to the PS standard 100 last night. Wow is all I can say. I think


The Pontus really drew me into the music.
I listened for a few hours. Listened to Bob Dylan’s Oh Mercy. Detail and soundstage was amazing. The Pontus really drew me into the music. Could hear Dylan’s raspy voice like never before.

Sounds really good...very analog like
I’m hooking up my computer to Iris and output Toslink to Chord Mojo and listening via headphone. Sound of ripped CD playing via Hysolid player is fuller, less screamingly bright and more musical. Sounds really good...very analog like. Credit: Peter K. WHERE TO BUY? https://www.vinshineaudio.com/shop


The Pontus sounds better
Yeah! I was using just the Hegel 190 internal dac which was fine but then I added the Hugo 2 and it sounded better, which led me to learn that a better dac makes a difference. I read about the Pontus and decided to give it a try and I’m happy that the Pontus sounds better than the Hugo 2. Anyway, the Hugo 2 is not meant to be a speaker based dac and more for headphones as it has limited connection options. The Pontus sounds better with better separation, sound stage and tight


This DAC has SOUL and EMOTIONS - Terminator Plus!
I’m not a reviewer and find it difficult to describe what I exactly hear. But with this Terminator Plus DAC it was obvious: summarizes In one word: MUSIC! This DAC has SOUL and EMOTIONS. Foot tapping and watery Eyes. I’m always a bit nervous when listening to Delta Sigma, I do loose the connection with the details and the place in space……. With the ladder Dac’s this isn’t so much the case (IMO). Very detailed highs, spooky mids and a bass made for my (smallish) room. My syste


PONTUS DAC - It's natural, relaxed, expressive and musical.
"After reviewing the Ares II that offers amazing sound quality for the money, I was very curious what the Pontus would bring, costing slightly over 2 times as much. So let’s dive right in."

Denafrips Pontus - it’s all about the music
Denafrips Pontus - it’s all about the music A year ago, I started a project and journey in upgrading the digital side of my audio equipment. My philosophy was to hold on to my aged analog components; Quad 405-2 amp (1985), Conrad Johnson PV-10 tube preamp (1989) and SoundLab Dynastat electrostatic/hybrid speakers (2000). Good quality analog components are capable of deliver far better sonically than most people imagine. Before starting my quest, I already had converted my ent
