| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC I have a Pontus 15 arriving within a day or two. I was wondering, I may have missed it, but are most of you running the DAC in NOS mode? I'm coming from a Ares II using OS with Soft filter. I'm thinking with the Pontus 15, NOS might be the way to ... | |
| Streamers and software I have two streamers, a NODE (N130) with LPS, and EverSolo DMP-A8. I subscribe to Qobuz and Roon. For my Roon server, I have their new Nucleus One. Both of my streamers work flawlessly with this setup. The more I use Roon the more I like it. | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Thank you, appreciated! | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Yes, I have a DH Labs 0.5m (1’7” or 19”) cable on order. Hope this is short enough | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Thanks! | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Just so I understand further, feeding the Pontus with USB vs i2S, this only affects which device controls the clock (with USB, the Pontus controls the clock, with i2S the A8 controls the clock). And, to further understand, In either way, the Pontu... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S In looking at the specs for both DMP-A8 and Pontus 15th, I think the new Pontus 15th has the same Fentosecond clock as the DMP-A8. I will try evaluating them both ways, USB vs i2S. If I can’t tell a difference, is there a theoretical idea that wou... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Thanks, I'm looking forward to trying everything out. I don't have a problem purchasing a Denafrips DDC if it comes down to it. I realize this is a hobby, and striving for a great sound. mbolek, I'm glad to hear you have an A8, and i2S is working... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S What should I be listening for, to compare two different DDC’s. I know this is probably a loaded question, and not sure if there is a good answer. Just reaching out and trying to learn. | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Well, I guess for the short term I should use USB from DMP-A8 to Pontus 15? That is if I can't hear a difference? I appreciate all information, whether it's good news or bad. | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Thanks for the replies. So, If the Pontus i2S input is used, the Pontus clock is completely bypassed? Interesting, much more to think about now. In further research about the DMP-A8 i2S output, they claim it is a good DDC with Dual High Precision ... |
