I have looked on the website and it does list the features but it doesn't compare or list the differences from the original Venus.
Denafrips Venus 1 vs Venus 2
I have been searching for the differences between these too with no luck. Does anybody know what they changed between the two versions? Also if anybody has heard version one and then version two any input on differences if there were an?
Thanks,
Steve

Per Alvin, The Venus II is very close to the Terminator reviewed by NRD (https://www.vinshineaudio.com/so/2fNLJQpyD#/main) Venus II comes close due to the following upgrades done recently: 1. TCXO - Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator. This is the prime performance improvement that brings the Venus sonic performance very close to the Terminator DAC 2. MU Metal Shielding between the PSU and Main DAC board, like one found in the Terminator DAC. A metal sheet is added in between. 3. EVOX MMK caps (White) 4. Germany Film Caps WIMA 5. Upgraded DSP board to support PCM1536, DSD1024 over USB/I2S My recommendation goes to the Venus II DAC for mid/high end systems. Having said that, it also depends on the resolution of your system, and how attentive you listen to the music. |
@jjss49 thanks for the advice, this post is 5 months old and I did reach out to Alvin and he answered all my questions. I've been a happy owner of a Venus 2 for many months now. |
