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

Thanks @tds3371 

You’re right , I had my conversion rate from Singaporean dollars to US dollars off a bit.

The current price for the Pontus 12th is S$2449 which translates to US $1853.
They seem to be listed at roughly $1500 on the used market give or take.

as you say they could be selling for less

So the difference is more like $350.

I’d still like to know how the units compare.
