I am very new to R2R. One day, one of my friends told me to try his new Ares DAC. At first I did not care much. After a while, another friend told me that Denafrips's Terminator was very good. Therefore, I ordered the Pontus II since I trust these 2 friends. Then, my tube preamp was having hum sound so that I ordered an Athena.
My source is a HiFi Rose 150b streamer. I have 2 power AMPs, Willsenton R8 and McIntosh MC452. The speakers are ATC 11. Actually, my 150b has a built-in DAC with a MQA decoder, but I wanted to try other DAC, just something different than the 150b.
Actually, Pontus and Athena were not very impressive when I just received them. The sound was okay. After I was breaking them in for 5 days, the sound was getting better and better. I wish Alvin would have offered the seeking service that would pre break-in the HiFi equipment for customers. It is a very common service for cable vendors.
While I am liking the sound more and more, I added 2 Kojo Crystal-E ground box to my Pontus II. Hell yes, I really like the sound now.

WHERE TO BUY?
I spent a weekend setting up a secondary media corner in the home office, tweaking cable management and checking https://onn-electronics.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html to clarify a compatibility question for an adapter before turning everything on. Once everything synced up properly, the clarity was night and day. Nothing beats that feeling when the sound profile finally clicks into place!
