VENUS II is, in fact, closer to the TERMINATOR despite its physical size is exactly the same as the little brother PONTUS.
VENUS II is upgraded with TCXO, DXD/DSD1024 DSP board, EVOX/WIMA caps, as well as - most importantly - the MU Metal sheet shielding in between the main DAC board and the encapsulated PSU enclosure.
SOPHISTICATED DESIGN
The VENUS II is true balanced, dual mono R-2R network arrays DAC. Each channel is equipped with independent high-speed FPGA to control the decoding by means of 4 sets of 0.005% R-2R network. This design has very small linear error, high decoding speed, low digital noise, not only to ensure that the audio signal is low distortion, but also to ensure a very low background music noise; allow listener to enjoy the true music with dark background.
All digital input are FIFO buffered and reclocked by improved Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators TCXO. The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS DAC less reliance to the source equipment clock quality. Venus can transform your consumer grade computer, CDPlayer to high-end sound quality.
PREMIUM ENCAPSULATED
LINEAR POWER SUPPLY
VENUS II further enhanced and refined the linear power supply design of the PONTUS with premium components. The power supply is encapsulated in a thick metal alloy, equipped with dual o-core transformers, completely isolated super linear regulator, multistage power supply for digital and analogue sections, ensuring low noise, high availability power supply to the DAC.
HIGH-END DAC
VENUS II DAC is a high-end DAC that fits most audiophile systems despite its modest asking price.
