Any thoughts on Denafrips Terminator Plus


Has anyone tried their new dac and is it worth the extra $2000?   How much difference in the two dacs ?

@yyzsantabarbara I used to have a Benchmark DAC2 HGC, and perhaps it was because I didn't use a high quality power cable, but I remember it sounding clean but not entirely engaging. Since then I've had Border Patrol dac which was too warm and colored, then the Lab12 tube dac which was incredibly organic and analog but lacked dynamics and detail, finally arrived at Denafrips Terminator which seems to combine the strong points of all my previous DACs.

As this hobby goes, I am still curious about the Terminator Plus, Mojo Audio's Mystique, and I think my dream DAC would be the Rockna Wavedream Signature Balanced.
@26mo18pts No need to pay any attention to the racists and xenophobes, especially bitter ex-distributors who changes his tune 180 degrees about a brand after getting the line pulled from him. I guess racism is an acceptable emotional coping mechanism in today's world, certainly cheaper than therapy.

The Denafrips line of DACs are thoroughly tested and reviewed by pretty much every popular outlet on the internet, and the results are all excellent. The house sound is big bold sound with a lot of body and layered details for the money. The Terminator in particular is absolutely fantastic.
