I will never purchase another piece of Denafrips gear. In December I purchased a Hermes 12th DDC. It will not play 24/192 files. I have gone round and round trying to get them to send me an RMA to a service center for repair, and they absolutely refuse. They keep telling me that I have to upgrade the firmware, but the process for doing so is complicated (their software to accomplish it is an "unsigned driver", so Windows does not want to run it) and if done incorrectly the unit will be "bricked". The seller has been unhelpful (although supposedly an authorized dealer, according to Denafrips website), and the support from the factory ridiculously unhelpful. So I have a $1200 piece of gear sitting on a shelf doing nothing. So my advice is to stay as far as possible from purchasing any Denafrips product!!!
