kinki dac vs denafrips pontus

The Pontus soundly beat the orchid ,as well as Brooklyn+ 
I compared them directly ,knowing parts very well just loook at the massive banks of rubicon capacitirs ,then 2 big Torroidal transformers and power supplies under that and a a Linear supply their R2R dac there are 4 rows of under 1% mstched ladder resistors ,this is on par with the latest holo springs 3 .
i found it more musical then my Schiit latest Yggsdrasil
for a few hundred more the Deafripps Venus destroys the Yggs it is a sculled down terminator for $2800 delivered 3 yr warranty 
and in the 1st year if any issues they pay shipping both ways ,
after that they fix and pay shipping one way ,but the build quality us a Excellent 
and they test and burnin for 100 hours before it leaves .

Recently the Areas2 dac ,and in March the Pontus has a new processor board 
as well as upgraded DSD same board as the Venus and terminator 
it comes with any of these dacs as of March 2020
if you have a older model for $260 you can unplug,and plug in new board.
