| Denafrips Ares II Having more hrs on the Ares I found the "S" sounds maybe a smidgen not as clean as Qutest. But not bright or grainy. Maybe Ares a smidgen sunnier. But surprisingly Ares sounds more analog & less like bits strung together. Subtle differences. G... | |
| Denafrips Terminator reliability? I recently got the Ares II and love what R2R can do to 0&1s. Yes, Holo May Level 1 would definitely should be on the list. I was almost going to buy a old dac chip with an output tube stage but glad went to R2R. While popular Dacs like Border ... | |
| Denafrips Ares II Ok thanks guys!π | |
| Denafrips Ares II To the OP I just got Ares ii and it's musically involving. I tempted to get Pontus II. | |
| It's time to replace my 2009 factory-modded Wadia S7i with a current R2R DAC. I just got the Ares II from Denafrips bests my Chord Qutest. But with Qutest I was using Optical and coax with Ares II. I will switch back soon but with Chord I need to add bnc to RCA adapter! π | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Here is my proposition to anyone including manufacturers.Β We get a room with good acoustic properties.

| I nominate this company as building best speakers! Pokey77I thought about that for Burmeister. But same system with Sonus Faber Amati and Estelon doesn't sound as good. This time they used one amp size of a wine fridge in stereo mode. He said it's about 300 watts. I didn't check specs. | |
| I nominate this company as building best speakers! geleary123Many years ago I heard Thiel CS5i with all Mark Levinson set up. At that time much respect for the sound I heard. Talk about imaging. But doesn't sound like live music unfortunately. | |

| I nominate this company as building best speakers! Keithr,Funny thing about Stenheim is their cabinet is not as dead sounding when you tap the sides. Magico is more dead.Β Well the Fives would be a dream but unobtainable. If only I didn't sell my one bitcoin 2 years ago!ππ | |
| I nominate this company as building best speakers! Avanti I heard an all MBL System many years ago with those big Omni directional pleats. Unless they drastically changed they can't compete with Stenheim. | |
| Any experience with TAD speakers ? I recently heard the Ref one tx. They sound good but not lifelike. They don't do anything wrong but on the same token they don't elicit emotions. I give it ππ | |
| I nominate this company as building best speakers! Thanks for all your responses! I hope some of you will try to hear it.
