I recently purchased a 3 month old Pontus before Christmas for 1K! I was lucky and seller was wanting to move up to a Terminator. I have a Node 2I streamer on the front end and the Pontus is connected thru optical out to a NAD 7600 which has two pairs of speakers including Bose 901 VI's on one input and Monitor Audio Gold 100 5g speakers. All I can say is that the Pontus sounds fantastic even without having full MQA unfolding!
Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts?
Soekris 2541 $1.1
Doge 7 $1.2
Mhdt Pagoda $1.4
Denafrips Pontus $1.8
Audio Mirror SE $2.5
Holo Audio Spring 2 $2.7
Audio Note 4.1 Kit $3.6
Lampizator Amber 3 $3.8
Anyone who can speak from experience about comparisons
between any two these?
I like the use of a tube and I like the R2R style of build.
Prefer to stay under $2.5 but might be swayed.
Thanks in advance for sharing.
(Some of these prices are certainly not correct)
