WANTED : Denafrips DAC

[mikeyb]

Hi,

no doubt clutching at straws here but is anyone selling a Denafrips DAC, either an Ares II or Pontus II, I know there's an Ares II on eBay but he's asking full retail on it.

I'd prefer a Pontus II as they come in silver to match the rest of my setup but they seem scarce S/H.

May be worth a bit of research. https://soundnews.net/sources/dacs/musician-audio-pegasus-r2r-dac-review/

'tis of a silvery nature too m'lord :D

I looked at that one this morning and one review done by two friends who weren't very complimentary about it, not so much about the DAC but about the company, put me right off it.

Think I'm sorted now, Ares 2 will be on its way to me on Wednesday :)

Be an interesting listen I'm sure.

Thanks to all who responded.
