DENAFRIPS lists the following R2R DACs:

Ares, Pontus, Venus, and Terminator (in increasing price order).

"DENAFRIPS incorporated in year 2012, focus in developing high end audio equipment at a very affordable price. Throughout the years of intense Research & Development, and continuous improvement of the product lines, DENAFRIPS had finally settled with the current product range equipped with R-2R ladder DAC technology. The reason behind this is the designer strongly believe that R-2R DAC is the best way to reproduce music.

D-ynamic
E-xquisite
N-atural
A-ttractive
F-idelity
R-efined
I-ntoxicating
P-ure

This mean a lot and it is the house-sound of all DENAFRIPS products." [Copied From Denafrips About Us section]

I've listened to the Terminator in two systems and against several DACs.  I definitely prefer it to my Yggy Analog1 in my system but am sending my Yggy to be upgraded to Analog2 next week.  I definitely preferred the Ayre QX-8 to it in my friend's headphone system (Sennheiser 800 with Cavalli Liquid amp).  The Terminator sounded tilted to me instead of neutral.

My system: Magnepan 3.7i, Audio Research Ref6, Hegel H30, Innuos SE, Mutec Ref10, SOtM tX-USB Ultra, dX-USB Ultra.  Tests were done with AES on Yggy and Terminator.
