FS: Denafrips Ares 2 R2R DAC (12th Anniversary Firmware)

[mikeyb]

Still downinvesting ( there's a new word for you lol ) in my setup to divert the funds elsewhere so my Denafrips Ares 2 R2R DAC (Latest Firmware) is up for sale. No warranty as I bought it used but it's working perfectly.

In original box. A few little marks on the edges of the DAC and it's missing the silly little rubber feet that sit inside the legs of the DAC. I just sat it on those rubber drum tuning pads you get from Amazon.


£595 inc UK postage.

Advertised elsewhere.

Another one ended at £640 on eBay last night, I might just take up the 80% off selling fees offer sitting in my inbox ;)

I normally attach a 10-20% markup to eBay items to account for the hassle factor and risk of scammers/returns.

Sorry-not related to the sale:
Did you find the latest firmware update worth the hassle? I did the first one ok but the second one didnt work. I keep meaning to try it again but its a fiddly job.

For anyone interested this is a great dac and, for once, lives up to the hype.

I meant to have the title edited to 12th Anniversary Firmware. Not sure if that's the latest or not?

I'll ask a mod to edit the title, I have it correct on other Forums.

I did look on the Denafrips site and could only see the 12th Anniversary Firmware listed so I assumed that was the latest.

I hadn't done any prior to that so I've no idea if there were any others to do?
