DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....

Thread for OWNER IMPRESSIONS, FEEDBACK, QUESTIONS, ETC. regarding DENAFRIPS DACs.

DENAFRIPS lists the following R2R DACs:

Ares, Pontus, Venus, and Terminator (in increasing price order).

"DENAFRIPS incorporated in year 2012, focus in developing high end audio equipment at a very affordable price. Throughout the years of intense Research & Development, and continuous improvement of the product lines, DENAFRIPS had finally settled with the current product range equipped with R-2R ladder DAC technology. The reason behind this is the designer strongly believe that R-2R DAC is the best way to reproduce music.

The name, DENAFRIPS, stand for:

D-ynamic
E-xquisite
N-atural
A-ttractive
F-idelity
R-efined
I-ntoxicating
P-ure
S-ophisticated

This mean a lot and it is the house-sound of all DENAFRIPS products." [Copied From Denafrips About Us section]

Update from AXPONA:
We worked all day to get the system dialed in and it is sounding mighty fine!
Besides the Denafrips, we also have the world premiere of the new Wells Audio Commander preamp that takes the system up a notch.
Can't wait to the show opening tomorrow!

Update from AXPONA:
We had a pretty busy day today, unusual for a Friday at the show.  Foot traffic was steady all day and we were able to hold quite a few demos with very attentive and responsive audiences.  As the pre-production Wells Audio Commander preamp has only two inputs we ran the demo for just two DACs.  So we let the audience pick one of the other models to compare with the Terminator without telling them which one was playing.  After a couple of minutes playing the same musical passage we asked them to describe any differences they heard.  Amazingly most of them can describe the differences readily even though they were subtle, as all the Denafrips have a familiar "house sound".  We had fun doing the demos and it seems that the audience did too.
We expect a very busy day today and plan to run these demos as planned on the hour but will accommodate with impromptu on-demand demos if the room is full and the audience is game.
So show up with your best ears for a fun time.
