Better R2R DAC Recommendation?


I’m new to digital after being vinyl only forever and am enjoying my Denafrips Ares 2 streamed from a Project Streambox S2 Ultra using Audirvana. Of course since I’m enjoying it, I need something even better... it’s a hobby after all.

I’d like to spend no more than $2k on the used market. Anyone have a favorite R2R?

It’s a pretty easy answer if you like the Aries2 a lot 

then the Pontus2 is the obvious answer similar house sound but much better detail bass and everything in between .  The Venus would be their best between all very close to the terminator 2 but at $3k 

for $2k the Pontus -2 almost impossible to beat ,it’s very well balanced 

I owned it the key is how good is your cables ,powercords  make a difference 

even more so Ethernet cable,  I uses uptone ether regen which truly cleans the noise on the digital signal and  usb , I like the AQ  Diamond , cables as well as Wireworld Platinum 8;cables .
