ARES II R-2R DAC -

Ares%20II%20(2)_JPG.jpg

DENAFRIPS Audio Ares II fully balanced true discrete R-2R DAC is at Musicraft (Derby)

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.

Ares%20II%20(3).png

DENAFRIPS Audio Ares II fully balanced true discrete R-2R DAC is at Musicraft (Derby)

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!

ARES II fully balanced truer discrete 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."

SYMBOL OF HIGH-END DAC

PONTUS II is DENAFRIPS Audio's premium DAC. To achieve the highest possible sound quality within the cost constraint, PONTUS II adopted many of the the technologies found in the TERMINATOR II DAC. Yes, that’s right, PONTUS II is designed around the similar architecture of the TERMINATOR II DAC.

The chassis is made of massive aluminium plates, securely fastened with internal bracket and no visible sign of bolt from the front panel and top cover. The all-alumium enclosure, double up as shielding and anti-resonance, the criteria for audiophile, yes?

DENAFRIPS Audio Pontus II fully balanced truer discrete R-2R DAC is at Musicraft (Derby)

The PONTUS 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 0.01% 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 the on board FEMTO clocks. The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS Audio DAC less reliance to the source equipment clock quality. PONTUS II can transform your consumer grade computer, CD Player to high-end sound quality.

PONTUS II
further enhanced the linear power supply design compared to the ARES II. 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.

DENAFRIPS Audio Terminator II fully balanced true discrete R-2R DAC is at Musicraft (Derby)

The DAC core conversion module R-2R is constructed with 0.005% high precision, 10ppm low thermal effect precision resistors. Each channel uses more than 500pcs of these precision resistors, or 1000pcs for two channels, it's 4 times more than the other typical R-2R DAC. These achieve a truly astonishing low distortion, full balanced design. Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators OCXO clocks are used with FIFO buffer and re clocking - to eliminate the word-clock jitter from the sources.

STATE OF THE ART LINEAR POWER SUPPLY

Steve Huff Photo & Hi-Fi reviews DENAFRIPS Audio's Pontus II fully balanced true discrete R-2R DAC -

"The build quality of this thing is absolutely stunning."

"It was the smoothest, most fluid, most beautiful sounding DAC I've ever heard."

"This is an amazing DAC for the money, amazing DAC for the money."

"I can highly recommend the Pontus II DAC. It's a beautiful piece of equipment. Heck I'd say if you're looking to spend up to $5000 for a DAC be sure you do not count out the Pontus II from DENAFRIPS."

"This is the best DAC I've ever heard in my life."



Pontus%20Png%20(1).png

DENAFRIPS Audio Pontus II fully balanced true discrete R-2R DAC is at Musicraft (Derby)

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

PONTUS II is DENAFRIPS Audio's premium DAC. To achieve the highest possible sound quality within the cost constraint, PONTUS II adopted many of the the technologies found in the TERMINATOR II DAC. Yes, that’s right, PONTUS II is designed around the similar architecture of the TERMINATOR II DAC.

The chassis is made of massive aluminium plates, securely fastened with internal bracket and no visible sign of bolt from the front panel and top cover. The all-alumium enclosure, double up as shielding and anti-resonance, the criteria for audiophile, yes?

DENAFRIPS Audio Pontus II fully balanced truer discrete R-2R DAC is at Musicraft (Derby)

The PONTUS 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 0.01% 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 the on board FEMTO clocks. The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS Audio DAC less reliance to the source equipment clock quality. PONTUS II can transform your consumer grade computer, CD Player to high-end sound quality.

Mark on HiFi reviews DENAFRIPS Audio's Pontus II fully balanced true discrete R-2R DAC -

"Another observation I made right off the bat taking it out of the box is that this thing is really heavy. It weighs almost twenty pounds and it's built like a tank."

"The overarching characteristics that I'd say is that it's just a gorgeous, gorgeous sounding DAC. It's full of detail, it's full of resolution, never sounds harsh, never sounds overly etched or in your face. It's very natural sounding."

"I was really, really impressed. This one (Pontus II) is officially Mark on Hi-Fi's top contender."
