Any thoughts on Denafrips Terminator Plus


Has anyone tried their new dac and is it worth the extra $2000?   How much difference in the two dacs ?

R2R das done right are more natural less hifi then these new Sabre dacs or single bit , like Analog devises R2R Multibit ladder dacs 
these were laser tuned precision used in pro industry .
look at Mojo Audio his R2R  built dacs are modular ,state of the art 
are fully maxed out with premium parts ,yes they have femto clocks but that’s just half the story ,power supplies are crucial. Bellison super regulators the best in the world ,descreet opamps  and many other things you will not see in  the competition unless you have Big $$
and a 45 day audition .i know of no one else willing to offer this And fully modular..
great sonics and priced fairly IMO.
@26mo18pts No need to pay any attention to the racists and xenophobes, especially bitter ex-distributors who changes his tune 180 degrees about a brand after getting the line pulled from him. I guess racism is an acceptable emotional coping mechanism in today's world, certainly cheaper than therapy.

The Denafrips line of DACs are thoroughly tested and reviewed by pretty much every popular outlet on the internet, and the results are all excellent. The house sound is big bold sound with a lot of body and layered details for the money. The Terminator in particular is absolutely fantastic.
I spoke with Alvin by email today and also a Denafrips owner in Canada to understand a bit more about the Terminator along with the statements about the serial #. Of course, the video I posted above was racist, bitter, and sad but the serial # was something I wanted clarified.

All my questions are answered now and I am going to get my second DAC, the Terminator Plus with the Iris (DDC). The sound I am after is described above, "The house sound is big bold sound with a lot of body and layered details for the money".

This DAC will be a nice contrast to my current DAC, a Benchmark DAC3B. Which I will be keeping.
While I build and prefer R2R discrete DACs, the notion that they sound better than other implementations is subjective.  Each offers sounding that the other does not offer in sound quality.  Words like state of the art, big bold, are not helpful unless you can show the differences between other DACs in comparison.  I have a very cheap Chinese DAC that sounds like that until you make a direct comparison to other company products.  IMO the Terminator DAC is nice sounding for the money but it is not state of the art by any means but again is a very nice sound for the money.  A friend has the Mojo audio DAC which he has modified and after the modifications he is very impressed with the sound.  He has owned and modified several DACs that have been recommended in these forums in a similar price range and so far has settled on that DAC for now.

Happy Listening.
