Denafrips 12 anniversary

The point was the T2 -12 anniversary is $300 more then the old model 

the same should apply to the + model for just the transformer metal type and better board implementation. It’s a good product ,it is Slightly better then the old model a bit warmer nothing much else.,that's the point , until I heard them side b6 side 

Everythung the same you would never know ,only after 3x on certain music  was there a slight difference to some not even a upgrade ,not everyone wanted a warmer presentation with their equipment. If making a SE model where there is a Big difference then I can see paying $$ the extra $1-2k that would make much more sense .

I have had a Terminator Plus since before the price increase and well before the 12th anniversary. For the money, and on an absolute basis, it is a great DAC. That is especially my opinion, if you are into detail. This DAC and my Denafrips Gaia DDC has been dominating the DAC spot in my rig over my Chord DAVE for sometime. I think that says something, at least to me, since this is all about personal taste. As for the 12th anniversary, I have not compared the 12th anniversary version to my DAC. But with the price differential, I think there is likely not enough of a value proposition to upgrade. But for a first time buyer, depending on your budget, it may be worth a shot. Having said that, from my recollection of the reviews, the best performance for the money may come from the Venus. 

I listen to a lot of dacs and equipment throughout north east get together I finally found a breakthrough dac highly advanced. And has implementation forHQ player 

through a high end computer and cleans all incoming signals from jitter on. Several levels the T&A 200 Dac   Yes it’s around $7k retail  but vs both the Holo springs May, and terminator 12 th + dac. Thie. T& A dac was better then even my friends Bricasti M1-SE which is excellent , anyone looking for agreat dac witha lot of built in flexibility and great class A preamp  section also and remote ,VUmeters is actually 

a bargain .i am saving for it as we speak , German build Quality , no more China !!

No doubt that the T+A 200 DAC is receiving much high praise from more and more reviewers. They all seem to be extremely impressed.  Purely based on sonic ground, rather than feature/flexibility it’d be interesting to compare with the Lessloss Echo R2R DAC. Both are said to sound exceptionally well.
