Best Bang for your Buck DAC ?
Denafrips Ares 2. It’s a wonderful DAC.  
who surprised and who disappointed
Barry Manilow is fantastic live. Perfect sound, perfect lighting, rehearsed to perfection.Paul Simon was just boring. I left halfway.Julio Iglesias was great 15 years ago. I saw him again 5 years ago. Same old chat and it was like watching a bad r... 
Low gain dac!
@millercarbon Why are you so rude to other users on here? I’m new to this group and you seem to be a bit of a trouble maker. 
R to r dacs
I have the Pontus. It is the best DAC I have ever heard or owned. I used to have a Chord Qutest that was “in your face”. The minute I turned the Pontus on then I feltmyself relax into the chair. It is fantastic. 
I2S setting using Denafrips Pontus and Iris
I ended up buying the Iris and Pontus. They sound fantastic.  
From Denafrips Pontus to Lumin
I use the Innuos Zen 3, as a streamer and hard drive to store my CD’s, into a Denafrips Iris DDC and then i2S from that into the Pontus. I love the Denafrips sound. 
Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...?
Hombre, choice of speaker cable can make a huge difference to the sound. 
Looking for my "last" CD transport
Jasonbourne52, you are so wrong.  
SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
I am a newbie to this forum. Why are people arguing and fighting on here? I thought it was meant to be to help and advise each other in a kind and considerate way. Oh well. 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
I tried Tellurium Q speaker cables. Meh. Sent them back in their fancy box.I bought Kimber 8TC and they sound wonderful. I’m sticking with them. 
More Power Part II
Arcticdeth won’t be able to listen at those volumes for long without going deaf soon. On his ears be it. Look after your hearing now because you will regret it later on. Sound quality over loudness wins every time. 
Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay
I still think CDs sound way better than streaming, even hi-res Qobuz and Tidal. 
Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps?
G Class Arcam amps sound great. It’s just a pity their amps have so many bugs.  
I2S setting using Denafrips Pontus and Iris
I used test tones to sort out which i2S configuration is the correct one using the Iris to the Pontus. All it needs is the 2x light to be set on the Pontus. That way the stereo image (and phase for my system) are correct. 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
Danasam, I have a Pontus. Did you ever consider buying an Iris or Gaia to use with it or do you think it would not be needed? I just wondered because you would be able to use the i2s connections. Thank you.
