Denafrips Terminator 12th vs. 15th DAC

Hi all,

Has anyone determined if there is any difference between the Terminator 12th and 15th DAC. Was this done by Denafrips to differentiate themselves from Vinshines involvement and inventory? I recently purchased the 12th from Alvin at Vinshine before the “breakup”. 
I tried to look at specs of both but do not see any differences other than the number and price. Hard to get info without Alvin involved

@hilde45 Clearly the Terminator 15th is 25% better than the Terminator 12th. If it was 50% better, they would have called it the Terminator 18th...

Well after to a long listening session tonight and no disrespect to them as they have a great product; they need to be clear on the upgrades or we will go “smoke and mirrors “. But no difference between 12-15?? Lol

I. Am now selling the Denafrips products , the New Terminator -15

Is exactly the Terminator12 plus , just look at the 2 even the Oven clock say Terminator Plus Clearly on it . They did a few regulator upgrades and a few small 

upgrades, Just look on the Terminator page Quietly says FlagShip. 
the plus is or will be discontinued , Denafrips wants to use up the remaining 12+ cases. I did an inspection myself ,the Terminator Gen 15, and 12th+ are Identical 

save the extra $$ . Nothing more to be said . 

More to discover
