I have zero regrets about (over) stretching my budget for a Denafrips Pontus II DAC last year (2021). Well, there is one regret; that being the Terminator Plus was not an option... . That said, at least it saved the bother of having to hire a forklift to move the Terminator Plus - it weighs 19Kg!

There is the Terminator II although the Terminator II also weighs in @ 19kg

DENAFRIPS Audio ARES II R-2R DAC -



The Ares II DAC is a 24Bit/1536KHz, DSD1024, discrete resistor ladder Digital To Analog Converter, also known as R-2R DAC.

The architecture uses the most primitive R-2R DAC technology, it is probably the most suitable architecture to reproduce music. Despite the test results of various measurements and parameters of the conventional R-2R DAC are usually not as good as the mainstream integrated DAC chip, but the sound of R-2R DAC, is often filled with emotion, comfort, high fidelity, transparency, and additive musicality that most of the common mainstream integrated DAC chip cannot match.

SYMBOL OF HIGH-END DAC

To achieve a decent sounding R-2R DAC, the use of ultra-precise resistors is necessary. The cost of high precision resistors is expensive, each resistor must be stringently measured and matched by machine with human intervention to cross-check. These results in a very high cost in the manufacturing process, hence, R-2R DAC is also a symbol of high-end DAC.



SMALL IN SIZE, BIG IN SOUND

The Ares II employs true balance R-2R DAC design. Each channel is decoded by 4 sets of R-2R network. This design has a 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 the listener to enjoy the true music with a dark background.

DSD decoding support up to DSD1024 and PCM decoding supports up to PCM1536. Choice of NOS or OS, Slow or Sharp filters, the Ares II upgrade just make the already awesome DAC a few notches better!

DENAFRIPS Audio ARES II R-2R DAC -

Stereophile magazine Recommended Components 2022 Edition (Vol.43 Nos.9 & 11 WWW) "HR summed up his time with the Ares II by writing that it "recovered more ambient/reverberant information and generated larger, more precisely mapped soundstages than any DAC I've encountered under $1698. … I see the Denafrips Ares II as a working person's superDAC."
