New ARES II owner here. Just arrived today. LOVE.
What made me buy it? Having variety I suppose. My beloved Burson 3R (2x9038q2m) comes pretty close, but the immediacy and increased dynamics on the ARES II is instantly recognizable. OS/sharp, 16/44 and 24/96 local FLAC streams.
Charlie Haden live: hear the performance & audience in 3D, every little cough and sniffle.
Other DAC's in service: SMSL SU-9, Chord Mojo, TDA1387 (all mid-tier/budget)
Thank you Denafrips team.
