Mitski sounds lush and organic in her Be The Cowboy album, as long as we avoid the grunged-up effects on tracks like Why Didn’t You Stop Me? and Blue Light. Two Slow Dancers brought her into my living room and its correct tonality made things all more believable. It was the same with Run Your Finger Through My Hair by Blues Company. This invitation to the blues cannot be declined as I found myself listening to the Ares into wee hours.THE LAST WORDThe Ares is a worthy competitor to other DACs regardless of their architecture, and has been a staple for people who want to venture into R2R territory.If you’re looking to upgrade from your entry-level DAC, you should definitely give the Ares a try. Its effortless presentation and expansive soundstage, especially at this price point, makes choosing it a no-brainer.

Denafrips Ares II DAC for sale. NOTE: THE USB INPUT ISNT WORKING. USB DOES SHOW UP ON MY COMPUTER (Mac OSx) AS CONNECTED WHEN SELECTED, BUT ISNT OUTPUTTING AUDIO. Maybe this is a firmware thing that can be fixed, but interested buyers should assume USB on this unit is broken. The other four inputs work perfectly. Get this sweet compact r2r DAC at a great price. Flat rate shipping to lower 48. Check my feedback and buy with confidence!

Denafrips Ares II DAC in excellent condition. Has 300+ hours so fully broken in! Firmware has been updated to the latest 12th Anniv. version.

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

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.

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.

I have for sale a gently used and wonderfully functional Denafrips Ares II. It works exactly as designed and sounds great. I will transfer the remainder of the 3 year factory warranty (21 months left) to the new owner by emailing Vinshine (per their process). That way you have piece of mind with your purchase. Denafrips has a service center in Buda, TX should you need to exercise the warranty. I have successfully updated the firmware on this unit twice now. The first time was from the original factory firmware to the 12th Anniversary firmware, then again to a revised version of the 12th Anniversary firmware with improved midrange and bass performance (most recent firmware release). I am only selling this Ares II due to a recent upgrade to a Pontus II. Denafrips DACs are awesome. I am not accepting returns with this DAC as the warranty is only transferable one time. Please be certain of compatibility with your system and your desire for this DAC prior to purchase. There are a multitude of reviews available online describing this DACs performance. This Ares II will arrive in its original factory packaging and double-boxing for safe transit. I always ship within one business day of receiving confirmed payment. International shipping is available via eBays Global Shipping Program only.

You’re purchasing / bidding on the item in the title! Item in original box Over the next month or two, I’ll be listing some nice quality watches, high end headphones and amplifiers. This is not part of my regular listings since I post 90% sports cards and memorabilia under my account. The watches and audio equipment collection are from a MILITARY VETERAN AND CURRENTLY A PRIEST who I consider a friend. His collection was mostly purchased while he spent his time serving our country overseas. As a priest, he does not have the disposable income or time to be able to post these items for sale nor does he have the space to store his collection in his humble living area. This person is very meticulous and “A” type so many of his items were kept in original boxes. Please review any and all pictures for the quality and condition of each item, but if you need more information or pictures; please request through the eBay messaging portal. Also if youre interested in purchasing more than one item, I can combine S&H to try save some money; everything will be based upon weight and designation. Good luck and thanks in advance!!! Disclaimer for AMPS: If unit requires tubes, I dont know how long the tubes have been in storage or last used. Every amp being sold should have tubes included and will be packed with extra care. Please be aware that you may have to replace one or all tubes. Product parameters?
