I'll hold off updating my Pontus 2. I hate bright treble.
I have not. I'm too busy for the next week, then I'm gone for two. I may do it myself in May. Otherwise, I have a buddy visiting in July, and we always do a shoot-out of some type. This would be an interesting contender. We would have the Benchmark DAC2, Chord Qutest, Denafrips Pontus II, and (hopefully) T+A DAC 200.Has anyone tried the Iris with a non Denafrips dac? Mike, have you tried it with your Benchmark?
FYI, we already compared the Benchmark DAC2, Chord Qutest (with iFi SMPS and LPS), and Denafrips Pontus II. Check out the thread:Yes that would be interesting, for me, particularly the Qutest.
Compared a SBT as a streamer and Qutest as the DAC with a bog standard SBT. No difference to speak of. The placebo effect when first I listened to the Qutest was strong and collapsed when I synced both SBTs and adjusted the volume as closely as I could.Yes that would be interesting, for me, particularly the Qutest.
Awaiting Venus II upgrade. About a week away…
But I’m not. I’m away camping!!!It's available now.
DSP it (if it's there at all)I'll hold off updating my Pontus 2. I hate bright treble.

I’ve made small adjustments to speakers position and will see if firmware burn in is a thing.
