| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC @soix I didn't try it with out honestly, All I can say is that I knew the Hermes was beneficial before using I2s with the Venus II. I've been burning in BNC clock cables as well as the DAC since I got it so I didn't start without the clock sync. ... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC @lynn_olson If you can swing it i highly suggest you give the Terminator 15th a try. Also, if possible take advantage of the DDC pairing and clock sync feature. I bet you would be ecstatic paired with a Raven and set of blackbirds. XLR to the Rav... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC Denafrips Terminator 15th. Because folks on this thread asked me to comment on it. Acquired November 29, 2024. There is very little information about this DAC so i thought I would share what I can tell you about it since I just bought one. Most o... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @hickamore NotVAT in USA, I bought mine from @Audioman58 in the USA | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @marco1 I too have found that my Terminator 15th (Which is a Terminator +) sounds really good with the N200. I almost bought a T+A Dac 200 but changed my mind. | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 FWIW I am running my N200 with USB to a Denafrips Hermes/Terminator 15th combo and it is a really good combo. I like R2R dacs. I also like the option to use the I2s connection as wells as the clock sync function. The Terminator is a huge DAC and v... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp I auditioned my Triton 1.r's with a Prima Luna 400 integrated, it ran out of steam during the audition and got frazzled. I am 70, the Coda s5.5 weighs 45 pounds-another reason I bought it. I can't lug heavy amps around anymore, it replaced a 140 l... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? @kingbr Good, glad I could help. Enjoy the music! And the Hermes. | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? Yes, you leave Pontus on I2s. You use the Hermes as the input selector, I have USB, AES/UBU and Coaxial connected to my Hermes. Yes digital input connections to Hermes. You do have to get out of your chair to change inputs on Hermes if you want t... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? No, all connections should work, I suggest you unplug the Hermes and plug it back in to reboot it. You change them while it was "live?" | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? @kingbr Just make sure you set your Hermes to "000" first, then with the volume low and music playing start DAC @ "000" and keep clicking until it sounds right. I just did this to my Terminator 15th 2 weeks ago and it went quickly. "010" was wha ... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp @pvnasby This is a qiote regurading you "dream amp" vs the Coda S5.5 > Hey ddafoe, I did a review on the Pass Labs X250.8, excellent amplifier, and the bass control on all the Coda amps, including the S5.5, is much better controlled/dynamic... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? I used to have test tones on a playlist in conductor/Qobuz but they stopped working. I think they got removed. I downloaded the files from the Vinshine site and transferred them to the SSD on my Aurender so i have them permanently. I did locate so... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp You can buy a brand a new Coda S5.5 in your budget, outstanding amp and will drive the T 1's with ease. Contact Tom at Big Ear Stereo for a good price. I had T1.r's for while so i have experience with them. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy Yes, I have settled in on the Fidelium Speaker cables. They made my system sing when I first got them and just quit thinking about it. @audphile1 I certainly understand the cost being prohibitive, if I needed longer length i would h... |
