The totally revamped Denafrips Pontus 15
is no longer a slight upgrade like the 12 th anniversary was ,which I heard it side by side, it is a Substantial upgrade
and it s around $2k. they are running a summer special .maybe a $100 off
my friend bought one and it is reallly good if you like your music a bit warm as this is a R2R dac it is a solid 5%+ better or more with great full bass and deep image depth .I heard it with 175 hours on it and 300 hours is recommended stretch your budget .in our audio club I hear most everything out there if I want to travel a Best Buy in the $2k range .
