DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
But thanks for the reply @zoophaugus. Let me know if you can answer my previous questions as I would like to know that part of the chain as I think I could gain a better understanding on the DAC upriver side of things. Thanks. 
DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
The company rings a bell but they’re latest model I have not come across in any reviews when I searched modestly last year. Of course my budget was sub $1500 so perhaps that is why. However, for him to say "at a ridiculously low price of $2500" is... 
DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
Currently I have the Ares https://www.denafrips.com/specs-ares, but digital inputs are only Coax x 2 , TOSLink x 2, and USB Combo384 Amanero which I believe was an upgrade over the old Ares which had XMOS implemented a year and a half ago. So it c... 
DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
That's really interesting that AES /EBU is superior to SPDIF, I was wondering why Mike in the latest video did not mention that in this comparison to why he was trying to make USB good or better, in his case the latest development of USB they are ... 
DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
In general though to people tend to incline towards AES/EBU or SPDIF? Which is by the most part better quality? 
DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
@zoophaugus you probably already know but if not you should check out Schitt's new USB implementation they will roll out in 2020 on their DACs, a new fresh design by them. Mike Moffat usually doesn't make a big deal about things but apparently it ... 
DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
Ok interesting, I suppose what Schitt was coming to was they were using a proprietary closed form solution that was manufactured using nonconventional parts that was possessing enough tolerance to form a design that would actually hold up to such ...

@redphu72 wow congratulations hope you have an interstellar experience with that DAC for many years. I'm sure it sounds sublime. Is it true that it retails for $20,645 USD?  What speakers are you using? 
DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison
"I don’t doubt the Denafrips sounds fantastic. However technically I have a bit of trouble with the outlandish claim of 26 bits resolution. I smell a rat that may have been released by the Denafrips marketing department. (Not unlike Yggdrasil whic... 
Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use
I don't have the Genelec SAM monitors, rather the 8040B's first hand. Very pleasing experience and quite satisfied with them, it would be interesting to see what differences one could hear (if better) when it comes to the Genelec 8351's but I don'... 
Best DAC
@labtec Great thanks for the feedback, much appreciated I may consider it since there is the money back guarantee. I play PCM content from an external harddrive to laptop through foobar using SoX mod 2 resampler as an available DSP. I am new to ge... 
Best DAC
@labtec Would you say when it comes to the pitfalls of computer audio a DAC like the one I have which is the Denafrips Ares which has the famous https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/diy-interfaces/amanero-combo-384-digital-interface-usb-384khz-to-i2s-..... 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
@limniscate , I can't wait to hear your impressions of the upgraded Yggy 2 to the Terminator. I have the Ares, and I can readily be impressed my the emotion and musicality. That aside, and as engaging and nice it sounds, it still is lacking in the... 
Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference?
I have balanced Mogami XLR cables to my speakers, DAC and preamp, studio quality good enough for me. @stringreen What your saying is power cables made the most difference in your setup? 
Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference?
I got the Pangea ac 14se mkii for about a month and I noticed the difference in more bass and treble being brought out however they in the end are not so good. They took something out of the mids and don't really work musically with an audio syste...
