Adult used, mint condition DAC. If you’re looking at this DAC, you’ve probably done your homework. I may change my mind and not sell it if the replacement DAC I have doesn’t surpass the sweet, hard to beat sound they may this one has. This is what the consensus is and I’ll have to agree: The Denafrips ARES II R2R DAC may use older technology, but when done right, resistor ladder Digital To Analog Converters can provide a natural, engaging sound. Many feel it’s a sound that more recent chip-based Delta-Sigma DAC designs can’t match. That’s exactly why the ARES II has received so many accolades from the press and those who own one. It has a smooth airy sound, with a robust bottom end that brings life to music, especially with highly resolving systems that lean towards the cooler side. It’s also a wallet-friendly fully-balanced R2R option, especially when compared to the usual four and five-figure boutique models. It gives more people a chance to check out this type of DAC and see if it fits them and their system. Highly recommended for those who think digital sound is too “forward” or “lifeless”.

Sampling ModeNon-Oversampling NOS / Oversamping OS Filter SelectionSlow / Sharp When looking at the ARES II DAC, keep in mind that it’s a somewhat minimal affair, with most of the budget put into quality internals, which includes a lot of expensive components like Japanese Nichicon caps and a huge toroidal transformer. I am selling because I’m upgrading to a higher tier model. The external casing is matte black and utilitarian, plus there are no creature comforts like volume control, menu, or an LCD screen to show status. As it is, you have to depend on tiny LED lights on the front panel to get basic information (source and sample rate), but the system works.

Up for sale is a used Denafrips Ares ii dac i purchased from ebay about two months back. The unit came to me with a small imperfections one on the front panel and one stripped screw that i will place electrical tape over so it is easily identifiable. because of these imperfections im rating this dac a C+ cosmetically but an (A) for functionality and sound quality. Please study the pictures and understand the Dac is not perfect but works as intended. Free shipping for the continental US. thanks. ps the power cord pictured is my own cable from parts express the original will come in the box

For your consideration is a fantastic Denafrips Ares II R2R DAC, running the desirable v1.8 FPGA firmware update (which vastly improves the detail, timbre, and imaging abilities of the DAC…tons of info online about this recommended update…the unit can be reverted to it’s factory firmware version if you so desire). I am the second owner, where this was used in an audiophile setup free from children, pets, smoke, or other electronic dangers…it was lovingly enjoyed and cared for over the past 1.5 years. I am only parting with it because I have gone to a Pontus II. The item will ship fully insured via FedEx in its original, well-preserved packaging. If you purchase at BIN price, shipping will be free and I will throw in a free upgraded audiophile power cord. All sales are final so please carefully review the description and photos. Thank you for your interest!

Barely used Ares II purchased directly from vinshine audio in 7/21. This DAC was in my 2nd system and barely used (maybe 2-3 months?). This is because I liked the sound so much I purchased a Pontus II and then a Terminator. So the Ares II has been sitting in a box in my closet for quite awhile. I need to clear out space for new equipment (you know how it goes!). It functions flawlessly and there are no notable scratches. Sounds great! I will include an AC power cord upon buyer request.
