I used to have an Ares2 and at the beginning I always thought NOS was the only way to go. To make a long story short, once I upgraded to a high quality interconnect, the OS setting was much superior in clarity without experiencing any brightness at all. Problem is I use a $750 Tubulus Concentus I2s cable, not for everybody, . Point is, everything matters in a system. Wish it was simpler, it is not. Enjoy the journey.
DENAFRIPS Terminator ii 12th Ann
Recently, I entered the Digital waters by acquiring a Dennfrips Term DAC. My primary source has been analog, in recent years, but since the sonics have improved greatly, I would like to explore digital formats. I listen to Jazz and find the slow filter to be more musical to the sharp filter in my Dennafrips. I was wondering what members have concluded with Dennafrip’s filters. Are there times a sharp filter would be preferable?
