Received my Denafrips Venus 15th


It has been burning in for a week. I am very happy with my purchase. The bass is much more present and detailed than my previous Venus ii. The vocals are also improved. They have a much more 3D sound and are sitting out in space.

@vthokie83 ok trying get some clarity before I sell my Iris DDC. Read this review from a guy on the Denafrips site and he explains the connection differences between USB and i2s and how using the Iris i2s with the Terminator+ w/OCXO  clocks (Venus 15th) is still better than connecting your source with USB.

@skasundr and @@vthokie83 so far with the Venus 15th connected direct USB to the Eversolo A6 Standard it sounds ok and a definite upgrade from the Pontus II 12th but with only 150 I think it's still running in. What I'm hearing from you two is "it depends"...the Iris may or may not sound good with the Venus 15th so I'll play the in and out game to see which I prefer before selling the Iris. 

@vthokie83 I connected my Iris last night, selected i2s on the Venus 15th and it just worked. Do I still need to go through the settings above? 

@vthokie83 ok I'll give that a shot but I'm still stupid stuck on how the Iris could possibly sound better over the better OXCO clocks in the Venus 15th. What am I missing? 

@skasundr BOOM!!! You nailed it. Exactly the info and scenarios I needed to divide and conquer. Think I'm on the right track now...thanks 👊🏿
