Abstract: Note: for the full suite of measurements from the SoundStage! Audio-Electronics Lab, click this link. Recently I've been reviewing a lot of DACs, and I've noticed that two of the biggest differentiators among them are the type and quality of digital filte...
Denafrips zet als relatief nieuw merk toch even drie mooie dacs in de markt. We hebben natuurlijk nog de Pontus en de 'gewone' Terminator, maar die hebben we niet kunnen meepakken. Van deze drie vinden we de Ares II en de Terminator Plus het meest interes...
R2R-Ladder-DAC Technologie, Symmetrischer Ausgang, zusätzlich zum Cinch-Ausgang, Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, NOS oder OS Modus umschaltbar, «Langsamer oder schneller»-Filter wählbar
Keine Lautstärkeregelung, Bedienung ist ungewöhnlich und gewöhnungsbedürftig, kein Händler in der Schweiz (deutscher Vertrieb oder Direktbestellung beim Hersteller, kein Bluetooth, LED-Anzeigen sind sehr diskret
Der Denafrips Ares II ist in unserem DAC-Kaufberatungs-Feld sicherlich der Aussenseiter. Keine Lautstärkeregelung und auch sonst eine magere Ausstattung, aber mit seinem speziellen, analogen und entspannten Klangbild und dem günstigen Preis macht er seine...
The sound is wide and natural with defined layering and neutral tonality. The Ares II's attributes are not dripping in obvious coloration rather it has a beautifully natural sound that makes it easy to enjoy whilst still being strikingly accurate and deta...

Abstract: Okay, I'll admit I was smitten. There is just something addictive, even special, about the sound of an R2R ladder DAC. After spending several months this summer with R2R DACs from Bricasti and Rockna Audio, I knew in which direction I wanted to go. If I h...

Abstract: As a devoted analog guy and digital skeptic, I was intrigued by the internet whisper network earlier this year talking about a company making DACs that “sounded like analog”. Enter Denafrips, a company founded just 8 years ago and based in Guangzhou, Chin...
Abstract: Het jaar 2020 was op zijn zachts gezegd een bijzonder jaar, een ontwricht jaar vooral waarin een heleboel zaken in vraag werden gesteld en waarin we onze mooiste maar vaak ook onze kleine kantjes toonden. Door de opgelegde maatregelen verbleven we nog mee...

Abstract: In his original review of Yamaha's new flagship integrated amplifier in the September 2020 issue, self-confessed digiphile Jason Victor Serinus didn't examine the sound of the A-S3200's phono stage. It was also an open question whether the amplifier would...

Abstract: The Denafrips Terminator is not new. It has been around since March 2017 and has been reviewed and discussed (but not in Stereophile ). When I checked, Stereophile 's Recommended Components listed a baker's dozen sigma-delta DACs, five of which use the sa...
A straightforward tool for the job, No bells and whistles (preamp, headphone amp, etc.), Great soundstaging
An owner's manual, A registration card in English, Specs on output impedance and current capability, A way to audition prior to purchase, A more-visible power LED
THE DENAFRIPS ARES II DAC does not light my fire despite its internet buzz, but don't let that interfere with your evaluation.LikesA straightforward tool for the jobNo bells and whistles (preamp, headphone amp, etc.)Great soundstagingWould Like To SeeAn o...
