Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II

At what level Amp and Speakers do you need to hear the benefit of a DAC like the Pontus II?

I ordered my Pontus II from Alvin at Vinshine a couple of months ago when they were on backorder. Paid via AMEX Platinum for white glove dispute resolution if needed (why deal with endless emails on PayPal?). No need for worry. Alvin is awesome, and kept me informed as to when production started, when the DAC was ready, and when it shipped (with tracking number). And the Pontus II itself is a phenomenal DAC. I couldn't be happier with either Alvin or the Pontus...

Vinshine is great. Alvin Chee is very responsive and pleasant to work with. Very customer focused. Denafrips products are overbuilt and overperform. I have a collection of DACs and my Terminator Plus and Gaia DDC are prized. 

Another upvote for Alvin. Very responsive customer service, and worth a touch extra, if necessary, in my view.

You are in Good Hands with All Van!!!

Alvin is A+++

Thanks for all the replies. I have reached out to Alvin.

I purchased mine through Vinshine and got excellent service and communication from Alvin.  This is definitely the way to go.

Can get Pontus ll for $1698.00 USD. Cost is more if you use paypal instead of personal credit card.

Shenzen is 1899.00 USD including delivery. Just confirmed.

You can also PM via Agon at  @alvin1118 

Calling or using their form is the best option. Remember the time difference will cause possible delays in a response.

I tried to contact Vinshine but their contact form won't submit.

Vinshine 100 percent. Just bought a Terminator 2 from Alvin. Top-tier service. 

Ahh ok

@ozzy62 The prices on Vinshine are in Singapore Dollars S2298 = $1699USD

Thanks. The price is about 400.00 more on vinshine. Wonder why the difference?

@ozzy62 Vinshine is the official dude for US distribution. Alvin is very transparent and communicative. Just do it! Listening to Laura Marling on my Pontus II as I type this, pretty impressive DAC. Cheers,
