Has anyone compared the Dinafrips Terminator II to the Terminator +?


I've read and watched countless reviews. The T+ is $2500 more than the T II. I am fully aware of the new 12th edition upgrade to them. What I am trying to figure out is if you really get much more in the Terminator + for the extra $2500? I have a Hermes DDC to sync the clock to either one, which I hear really improves them. I've emailed Alvin and he described the differences as: 

 

The differences between the Terminator II and Plus, the Terminator Plus comes with premium offering of:

  • Aluminum anodized curvy front panel
  • Precision, hand-picked, premium OCXO
  • Hand-picked R-2R board

I am saving up for one of these DACs, one could happen quicker than the other.

@lak How do I contact him? (I found his reviews on line and THAT helped.) I guess it is just a matter of is the $2500 worth that small step in refinement, that is ups to me to decide. The Terminator II is no slouch.

@sro That is the combination I am working toward. I want a black T II 12th to replace my Venus II. I am saving up for it in the spring in April. I already have the Hermes, then I can do the clock sync. I also have the I2s connection already. Intusik Argentus cable. Thanks for the comments.
