| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary backgroundblur: Are you hearing any of the audible clicks and pops that have been mentioned in another thread here in the digital section regarding the Pontus? Also, what are your impressions now that the break in is proceeding? | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? The review at goldensound talked about digital levels that went to or over the 0dB level causing problems with the Pontus. Regarding the clicks and pops; do they happen with certain disks, or just ANY disk (regardless of the level of recorded peak... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? atp001: Are your ticks and pops loud, or more soft in nature? What has the response from Alvin at Vinshine been like? I had previously wrote to Alvin about the issue, citing a review of the Pontus II 12th at goldensound.com. Denafrip... |
