There is a tread over at Audiokarma.org in the Dac forum with thus title.
I heard the Most 'Analog Sounding' DAC in my Life
The second page has a video explaining the differences, check it out.

Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary
Greetings
I’ve been considering moving up from my Ares ii to a Pontus ii and there have been a few of them coming up on the pre-owned market lately.
Now I’m seeing that Vinshine is offering the Pontus 12th version and there’s not a whole lot of info about what is improved on it.
Sounds like some power supply improvements and also some gold plated screws?
Has anyone heard the new Pontus 12th or know any specifics about how it compares to the Pontus ii? What are the improvements, if any?
Pre-owned Pontus ii’s are selling for about $250 less than a brand new 12th. (At least in the U.S.) So not a huge savings. Plus there’s shipping .., I can’t remember if Vinshine charges shipping.
Thanks in advance
