DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
Alvin told me that DACs shipped since Nov 2019 already have this new board. This upgrade applies to DACs purchased before Nov 2019. Over the last couple days, my Terminator seems to have jumped in sound quality. Maybe it's just the music I've been... 
Another Streamer Recommendation Question
Thanks for the feedback/recommendations so far. @jassman7 - I don't think this is an issue with the Bryston. Other users of the Denafrips DACs have reported similar issues when connecting via something other than USB. Alvin from Vinshine Audio (th... 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
I've now had my Terminator for about two weeks and it's been playing more-or-less constantly since then (about 300 hours). Based on what I've read, I still have a ways to go before it reaches peak performance. At this point, it is sounding very go... 
Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan....
I would take a look at a used pair of Revel Ultima Gem speakers. These were Revel's first product. I owned a pair for many years and regret selling them. They don't play super deep without a sub, but produce the clean, clear, natural sound that Re... 
Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences
I had a pair of Nord NC500 rev D monoblocks for about 8 months before I decided to sell them and go back to class AB. I used them with Golden Ear Triton 2+ speakers, Bryston BDP-2 streamer, Schitt Yggdrasil DAC. Preamps were Schitt Freya and Paras... 
Parasound JC-2 BP vs Mcintosh C49
I have both the Marantz 8802 and the Parasound JC2-BP. While the 8802 is an excellent home theater processor, the Parasound provides more detail and much better imaging - deeper, broader and more 3-dimensional sound stage. The Marantz sound flat i... 
XLR connectors
DH Labs has some nice ones that aren't super expensive.  
Stuck at home? Make a kit!!
Big fan of DIY. Particularly speakers. Bang for the buck is stunning. After building a set of GR-Research NX-Oticas and servo OB subs, I’m a huge fan of Danny’s designs  I also think basic DIY cables make a lot of sense, meaning using high quality... 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
Last week, I decided to take the plunge and order a Terminator to replace my Yggdrasil (A2 Gen5 USB) that I've had in my system for a little over two years. I've had a chance to compare the Yggy with a few other DACs (similar and lower priced than... 
Child Damage Mitigation
I had Magneplanar Tympani IVs when my kids were babies/toddlers. These were probably no more stable than your 3.7s. I never had a problem (at least with the kids...the cats were another story).  
Non-transferable warranties?
I recently had to get service on my Bryston BDP-2. Not only was I at least the third owner, but my unit was slightly outside the warranty window. They fixed it for no charge including return shipping. I've owned a number of Bryston pieces over the... 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
The following explanation is based on my understanding of how the Denafrips DACs work from reading their documentation and other postings. I could be wrong in my understanding of the issue.The Denafrips DACs use an internal reclocker when the DAC ... 
Digital Coax Cable - Does the Length Make a Difference
Shorter USB cables will not be a problem. The biggest difference is that the USB clock is not used to generate the DAC sample clock on modern DACs, so any jitter introduced by reflections from the connection will not cause DAC clock jitter. That's... 
Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things?
@kodak805 - Beautiful looking stand (and nice system). Can I ask how much your stand cost you? Thanks,Jay

Those Saluda River stands DO look nice. I'll check them out. Thanks.
