What's even more impressive is it comes with a remote. That's new as Denafrips didn't believe in remotes for their DAC. Would be nice if they supplied on for my Pontus II 12th-1 or Artemis HPA amp. Edit, I see the package contents say's "No remote". Then why show with the image? :unamused:

They certainly are a company I'm hanging mine on.... Also have the Denafrips Iris DDC :relaxed:

While money is always at the heart of buying gear, when I decided to buy into Denafrips, it wasn't about the money but about what they had to offer sound wise. For what I was looking for in "my" needs, Denafrips fit the bill. Of course I'd of loved a Terminator, even a Venus, but after...

To quantify and qualify :relaxed: I bought my Denafrips gear (Pontus II 12th-1, Iris DDC 12th, and Artemis HPA - headphone amp) back in February this year and am very happy with the setup. Also bought Teac's VRDS 701 CD player/DAC. That system is a replacement for my 8-year-old Teac UD-503...

The need to have the latest and greatest is what's driving some of the reactions. Their shiny new toy just got one upped.

Double post removed.

Thanks.

I wouldn't necessarily go that far in your feelings, but it's hard to argue some points. I personally feel Denafrips make some really great sounding gear and am satisfied with what I have. You just have to be disciplined about falling into the trap of needing the latest and greatest, and being...

:thumbsup: I actually looked at the BenQ SW272U｜27-inch 4K, which has great reviews and is highly rated for photography work, but it's not a true 10-bit wide gamut monitor as is my NEC which love for its colors, and partly why I got the ColorEdge. All that said, that BenQ SW272U looks like a...

I don't have the Terminator, but the Pontus II 12th-1, and for me, end game in that by the time I upgrade there, Denafrips will probably be on a Pontus X (10th) edition :smile: On a more serious note, I think Denafrips needs to be careful not to "upgrade" their customers out of existence -...

Got it. for the moment I was like wow Sansui is still around making gear. They and Pioneer make some really great gear in the 70's. Anyway, just received my 27-inch 4K Eizo ColorEdge monitor, but won't get it setup till tomorrow due to work being done around the house...

Is that new? As in 2024 new? Didn't know Sansui was still around and making gear.

To replace my 8-year-old Audioengine A5+ desktop speakers.... The A5+ will be moving to my backup PC.

Just ordered these.... to replace my aging Audioengine A5+ Speakers, which will be moved to my backup desktop system. Had a $125 dollar discount with Audioengine so I finally used it.

Thanks. BTW, I don't see the HD620 replacing the (my) HD800S, but I do see them fulfilling a need where you want a "bass" headphone for certain genres. But that assumes the 620S has that type of bass. Still considering the $199-dollar Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X phones that purpose as well.

A classic album. Have it on both CD and vinyl. One of my favorites.

:relaxed: I can find a few things to complain about, but screws aren't one of them. Nor have I bought gear based on screws. Nor is build quality associated with screws used. The (my) $3800 ($3799) dollar Teac VRDS CD Player / DAC uses rounded screws, like the UD-507; both my Denafrips...

How's the bass here? I have a pair of Sennheiser HD700 & HD800S in which I'm quite satisfied with their bass response where jazz and rock is concerned but am also looking to find a good pair of phones with a bit more bass for my EDM side of the house. And just FYI, while I acknowledge the...

I cannot answer your question as I'm unfamiliar with any of those headphones. I'm using the Sennheiser HD800S (and HD700). I was just cruising the site and happened in this forum where I saw your posts. Sorry.

This is much better.... Miles Davis Jack Johnson (1971). I find it far more engaging and enjoyable vs. On The Corner..... CD ripped to PC in uncompressed FLAC ▶ PC (JRiver Media Center / FLAC files) > Iris DDC > Pontus DAC > Artemis HPA > HD800S

I just recently (about a month ago) finally retired my UD-503. It got replaced by the Teac VRDS 701 CD player / DAC. Well actually my Denafrips Pontus and Denafrips headphone amp replaced it, but for speaker play, that's where the UD-503 was still useful... until I got the 701 CD player with...

Was watching a Steve Guttenberg YouTube video review of the new Denon DP-3000NE turntable, where compared Miles Davis's On The Corner CD to the vinyl version as a quick comparison between his digital setup with Jay's Audio CD Transport and the Denon DP-3000NE turntable. The vinyl with the...

Nice collection, even though I don't have that last album.

Got you, but are you running the Susvara with dual Mentors?
