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

N-atural
A-ttractive
F-idelity
R-efined
I-ntoxicating
P-ure
S-ophisticated

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

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but did you used to own or still own a Lampizator Atlantic? If so, can you describe the differences between it and the Terminator?

I'm late to the Denafrips party as I hadn't heard of this brand until reading a review of the Lampizator Atlantic of which I own. I've read from a couple places now that some who have heard both the Atlantic and the Terminator have preferred the Terminator. Here's the link to that review in case anybody hasn't seen this...

Does Vinshine only deal with Denafrips brand now? I thought at one point they were carrying other brands but it seems Denafrips is all I see on their website.

I was looking at their Hestia/Hyperion combo (which looks to be an amazing preamp/amp) and wanted to see what the current price of the Kinki Studio ex-m1 but saw only Denafrips. Not a big deal was I thought for sure Alvin used to deal Kinki Studio.

BTW, I sent Denafrips a message a few days ago asking about the Hestia and haven't heard or seen a response. I decided to send Vinshine a message regarding the same thing and got a reply within 10 minutes. After reading and seeing some awesome reviews of the Hestia/Hyperion I can't believe there's not more talk about them, especially if they are in the same vein as their dacs.
