Denafrips Terminator 2 + Hermes DDC vs T+A DAC 200


Hello,

does anyone know how these two combinations in the title compare? 

I heard that the T+A DAC 200 is a bit superior over the Terminator 2, but how does the T2 compare with the Hermes DDC against the T+A?

Is the T+A still in competition?

Further I would like to know if the Hermes DDC makes a huge difference with the I2S option over the USB directly into streamer option.

Right now I can buy the Terminator 2 for 3.500€ and the T+A DAC 200 for 4.000€. What would you suggest to buy? Should I buy the Terminator 2 and wait for a Hermes DDC to appear?

My System is 2x Braun PA4; Braun CC4; Braun M15 and a Rasperry Pi 4 with Volumio integrated Streamer.

 

Thanks for your help in advance!

I guess you dont even know what Braun HiFi is or what the components sound like. I forgot to mention that I already have a Pontus 2 and before that I had an Ares. What I can say is that the Pontus 2 was a massive improvement you can hear. Seems like you underestimate Braun/ADS, they were great back then and still are. Many high class modern speaker cant even compete with them.

 

Cheers
