Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II

Looking to score a Pontus but they get snapped up on the used market pretty quick. What is the best place to buy one new? I've seen shenzen audio and vinshine. Any other reputable outlets?

I reached out to Alvin and he quickly responded. Apparently I need a usb firmware upgrade which requires a windows computer and some knowledge of wtf your doing...neither of which I have. 🤦‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ The point I'm trying to convey here is...go new with Alvin and avoid the headaches.

On the Termi, DSD 1024 / PCM 1536 is via usb only. Not really a big deal nevertheless id still like to be able to play with it.

I was hot on the hunt for a Lampi or the Pontus. the Terminator came at a steal so I jumped all over it.
