Denafrips Pontus II DAC / D/A Converter with latest firmware - Silver Purchased directly from Denafrips/Vinshine Audio in April, 2022. I am the original owner. Unit is in mint, flawless condition. Rating 9/10 only because it is used. I love what this DAC did for my system. I bought and sold numerous similarly priced DACs before falling for this one. This DAC has a very natural sound without sounding edgy in the treble region. Only selling as I am downsizing to active speakers with a built-in DAC. Denafrips does not include a power cord with this DAC, but I am including a .5m Pangea AC-14SE with this sale. Inside the box you will also find a printed copy of the (online only) user manual. Thanks for looking!

Very good to excellent Pontus 2 (II) in black with cord. Sounds great but I purchased a tube DAC and need the cash - so I am selling it a great price ! The Denafrips Pontus II DAC Review. HiFi Gold. By Steve Huff UPDATED 10/31/2021 I have just had some time with a HiFi audio piece that shocked, shook and startled me for what it cost in todays high end HiFi world. It also made me realize just how good DAC’s have become over just these last couple of years. It also showed me there is no need to spend more than this for a DAC unless of course you want to wring out that last 5-10% of performance from your audio system. This one is a stunner my friends. The Video Review This is a review for the Denafrips Pontus II DAC. A high end digital to audio converter that would be right at home in mid to high end systems. By the way…it would not be embarrassed in very high end systems either. Speaking of fine DAC’s, I recently reviewed the tube based Lampizator Amber 3 DAC and loved it for its smooth sound, musicality and natural warm leaning presentation. As of the start of this writing I still have the Amber 3 in my reference system but have been recently auditioning the Denafrips Pontus II DAC and I have been (really) enjoying the much different sound presentation it has been giving me over the Amber 3. I will talk about this sound I get from the Pontus II in this review but believe me when I say that this DAC has changed my belief system about what can be had from a DAC in the under $1700 US price point. During my several week evaluation I listened to this DAC with various speakers including Fleetwood Deville’s, Klipsch LaScala, Klipsch Heresy IV, Klipsch Forte IV, Dynaudio Heritage Specials and Wharefedale Diamond 225’s. The source is a Lumin U1 Mini along with Tidal. Qobuz and Spotify. I am using Pass Labs Amplification and Cardas Cabling. Since I am not a technical kind of guy You can read more technical info about this DAC HERE at the Denafrips website. I have also been comparing the Pontus II to one of my older favorite DAC’s, the $1700 Chord Qutest DAC. The Pontus II delivers quite a different sound signature over that wonderful little hunk of metal as well. The truth is that most all products in HiFi offer something different when you add it to a highly resolving system, even cables. But remember, different doesn’t always mean better and crazy high prices do not always mean better either. It all comes down to what your ears enjoy with music reproduction. Some like it hefty and mean while others like it detailed and lean. Some like the top end sparkly and sweet while others like midrange with meat. I’ll end the rhymes here but in the end we all have different tastes and in my experience a DAC can make a small change or a rather large one. This Pontus II DAC brought a huge change to my system. I will start with that. The Denafrips Pontus II From the Denafrips Website: “PONTUS is DENAFRIPS premium DAC. To achieve the highest possible sound quality within the cost constraint, PONTUS adopted many of the the technologies found in the TERMINATOR DAC. Yes, that’s right, PONTUS is designed around the similar architecture of the TERMINATOR DAC.” OH, and ?IT”S BUILT LIKE A TANK! The chassis is made of massive aluminum plates and securely fastened with internal brackets. It’s smooth and high end looking as there are no visible screws or bolts to be seen on the top or sides. The all-aluminum enclosure also helps with shielding and vibrations. Things the high end obsessed customers look for indeed. The Pontus II is a R2R Ladder DAC, so it does not sound like a traditional DAC that uses traditional chips. For example, like those from ESS or Sabre. This DAC is also different in sound from the FPGA Chord DACS. There are many fans of R2R Ladder DACs and one that is quite popular is the Schiit Audio YGGDRASIL that comes in at around $2200-$2400 US depending on your options. I have heard the OG YGGDRASIL and enjoyed it at the time but never did get around to a long term audition. At the time I wasn’t into the uber detail it was providing. I also heard a slight digital edge and grayness from that OG Schiit. Even so, that DAC has a huge fan base and is considered one of the best bang for the buck DACs around by many HiFi fans. Again, teh sound you get from any dac will depend on the system you insert it in. From the Denafrips website: “The PONTUS is true balanced, dual mono R-2R network arrays DAC. Each channel is equipped with independent high-speed FPGA to control the decoding by means of 4 sets of 0.01% R-2R network. This design has very small linear error, high decoding speed, low digital noise, not only to ensure that the audio signal is low distortion, but also to ensure a very low background music noise; allow listener to enjoy the true music with dark background. ?All digital input are FIFO buffered and reclocked by the on board FEMTO clocks. The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS DAC less reliance to the source equipment clock quality. PONTUS can transform your consumer grade computer, CDPlayer to high-end sound quality.”

Item Description from the Manufacturer The PONTUS II 12TH is a true balanced, dual mono R-2R Ladder Network Arrays DAC. Each channel is equipped with independent high-speed FPGA to facilitate the digital signal decoding by means of 4 sets of 0.01% R-2R network. The choice of such design yield very small linearity error, high decoding speed, low digital noise, not only to ensure that the audio signal is of very low distortion, but also to ensure a very low background music noise; allow listener to enjoy the true music with dark background.

The PONTUS II 12TH-1 is a true balanced, dual mono R-2R Ladder Network Arrays DAC. Each channel is equipped with independent high-speed FPGA to facilitate the digital signal decoding by means of 4 sets of 0.01% R-2R network. The choice of such design yield very small linearity error, high decoding speed, low digital noise, not only to ensure that the audio signal is of very low distortion, but also to ensure a very low background music noise; allow listener to enjoy the true music with dark background. ? All digital input are FIFO buffered and reclocked by the on board FEMTO crystal oscillators. The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS DAC less reliance to the source equipment clock quality. PONTUS II 12TH-1 can transform your consumer grade computer, CDPlayer to high-end sound quality. ? Non-Oversampling R-2R DAC /Signal fed to the DAC remain in its native sampling rate without additional processing. PONTUS II 12TH-1 is a true NOS DAC. In the PONTUS II 12TH-1, DENAFRIPS has made a deliberate and significant change by introducing a simplified AC main power socket. Contrary to being a cost-cutting measure, this modification reflects DENAFRIPS commitment to high-quality power supply as the cornerstone of superior sound. ? ?To achieve this goal, DENAFRIPS has gone the extra mile by customizing the AC mains power socket in-house using UPOCC gold-plated copper. In the PONTUS II 12TH-1, a non-switched AC mains socket, firmly believing that this step will bring the device even closer to attaining an exceptional level of perfection Clean power equates to the foundation of good sound. A dedicated linear power supply unit, designed and encased in a 1.5mm thick metal alloy enclosure, can be found underneath the DAC motherboard. The box-within-box design, not only does it eliminates the inherited problems of dual box solution, it presents the details and attentions DENAFRIPS put into the premium DAC design. Beefy dual O-Core Transformers for Digital and Analog sections, Ultra-Low ESR, Long Endurance Reservoir Capacitors, and multi-stages super linear power supply, ensuring ultra precision, low ripple power supply charging up DAC.

I bought an Integrated Amp which has Dac built in, so I no long use this Dac. The DAC has rarely been used and is still in great condition. It originally did not come with a power cord. I am the original owner and have all factory packaging. The Dac is absolutely top quality and sounds amazing. Latest FPGA firmware has already been installed.

Non-oversampling is available as well Full details herehttps://www.manualslib.com/manual/2309431/Denafrips-Pontus-Ii-Dac.html?page=7#manual

This is a Denafrips Pontus II, a very special R2R DAC which has served me well for a couple years now. It has never skipped a beat regardless of input used. Selling because I am taking my system in a different direction. No original box. Enjoy! Capabilities listed below: ADAPTIVE FIFO BUFFER RECLOCKINGThe DENAFRIPS approach to address the jitters issue by FIFO BUFFER RECLOCKING. The adaptive FIFO buffer store the source digital audio data in the memory. These data are read from the memory using the low phase noise, precision FEMTO Clock, located right in the DAC.This technology is close to the perfection, especially so with the local FEMTO Clock. The jitter is so small that it can be neglected.PROPRIETARY, STATE-OF-THE-ART USB INTERFACEThe PONTUS is equipped with the proprietary USB Audio Solution, powered by STM32F446 Advanced AMR Based MCU. DENAFRIPS redesigned and optimized circuitry, allow the DAC to be used as high-end DAC with computers / streamers. It supports 24bit/1536kHz PCM data stream, and native decoding of DSD up to DSD1024. It comes with licensed THESYCON USB Driver for Windows Platform.PROPRIETARY SPDIF DIGITAL AUDIO RECEIVERThe SPDIF Coaxial, Optical, AES/EBU input support up to 24bit/192kHz digital audio format. The PONTUS abandon the use of Digital Audio Receiver chip. The digital data is decoded by the on-board FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), signal path is shortened and eliminated the undesirable coloration.PROPRIETARY R-2R AND DSD DECODING ARCHITECTUREThe PONTUS is equipped with 24Bit R-2R DAC to decode PCM data stream and 32 steps FIR analogue filters hardware decoder to decode DSD data stream. These designs guaranteed the PCM format can be perfectly decoded, at the same time, the DSD format can be perfectly decoded as well. It is rare in the currently market that a R-2R DAC can hardware decode both the PCM and DSD formats.There is also a picture of the internal architecture with the following description:DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING – All digital input data are stored in the on-board FPGA high-speed RAM.FEMTO CLOCK – These data are read from the memory using the low phase noise, accurate FEMTO Clock, located right in the DAC. The processed data are sent to the final stage Discrete R-2R, for DA conversion.R-2R LADDER NETWORK – The data bits are converted to analogue signal by the true balanced R-2R ladder network arrays. The linearity of the conversion is guaranteed by the high-precision thin film resistors, with low thermal effect temperature coefficient of the low 10/15ppm.
