Changes in DAC Presentation - Need Advice


Hey all, I recently purchased a Denafrips Terminator II, and ever since I've noticed that some days the sound is sweet and natural, and other days it is forward and bright. I've even heard the sound change mid-song. Could this be due to fluctuations in my line voltage? Any other reason this may be happening?

Mac Mini running Roon core

Sonore ultraRenu

Denafrips Terminator II

Pass XP-12 Preamp

Odyssey Audio Kismet Monoblocks

Focal Sopra 2

When I had the Terminator on loan for a week. On some material I never noticed a difference between it and my “Forever DAC”, the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Sr.
On others, it was night and day. The Denafrips was forward and a tad “shouty” on some tracks where as I stated in my Video, the PS Audio was smoother and more Vinyl like in audio reproduction.

Break is BS IMHO. I’ve never heard ANY difference in sound of any of my electronics or Speakers from initial turn on to several hundred hours later.

Bring it on Bee aches !
