For me, the Ares 15TH perfectly fulfils the role, I expect from a DAC. It presents the music clearly, precisely, in detail, without adding to or taking away from the music.
I personally like this DAC very much here in my system, It's pretty good! So I can only suggest that if you're looking for a DAC in this category, you should definitely add the Denafrips Ares 15TH DAC to your list, and if you can, give a try and listen to it, because you probably won't be looking any further.

Great mini-review! I completely agree, a DAC should just do its job and get out of the way of the music. I need that level of pure detail when I'm listening to my focus playlists and playing Slope Game.
Nice to read a hands-on take on the Ares 15TH instead of just spec sheets. I’ve been curious about R2R for a while, especially how it handles that "neither adds nor subtracts" transparency you mentioned — that’s exactly the kind of neutrality I’m chasing for long listening sessions. Speaking of rabbit holes, I’ve been spending way too much time on krillion io lately, which is a fun little daily trivia game if you ever need a break from A/B testing gear. Definitely adding this DAC to my shortlist, though my wallet might not thank me.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Honest reviews like this make it much easier to compare audio equipment. In my spare time, I also enjoy playing Block Blast to relax for a few minutes
Thanks for the impressions. It sounds like the Ares 15TH focuses on staying neutral, which is exactly what I'd want from a spider solitaire free DAC. I'll definitely add it to my audition list.
