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.”

Perfect working condition. Comes with power cord. If you’ve read the reviews, you know this is a special DAC. It can easily be endgame or, for people like me, a gateway. There is a small stain or mark on the top of the unit that I didn’t notice until taking photos for the unit. It doesn’t affect the sound, of course. One of the pads on the bottom of the feet was replaced as well, which is not noticeable when right-side up. Will not ship in the original box, but it will be well packaged. Hoping it goes to someone who will appreciate it as much as I did. ——— This Denafrips ARES II R2R DAC is a high-quality digital-to-analog converter that offers exceptional audio performance.

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.

Denafrips ARES II-R2R DAC from Vinshine Audio With Box Like New Updated Firmware. Used Used in like new condition. I purchased from an audiophile that never opened the box. He purchased directly from Vinshine. It was brand new when I purchased it about 4-6 weeks ago. I was told that updating the firmware would be worthwhile. I contacted Vinshine to get instructions to update the firmware, I was able to update the firmware to the latest version. It was worth the time to do so. It sounded even better after the update. Updates can be rolled back as well. FYI. This Dac sounds great, so much so I want to move up to the next level to see what is possible. It has an analog sound is how I would describe it. I have always played records, this has opened up my Cd collection into the listening rotation. There should be a factory warranty, it has never been registered. Sold as described. Please see pictures for overall condition. I think you will enjoy. It is ready to ship and will be sent same business day. Thanks

Near/Mint Condition. Works wonderfully. Has option to upgrade to the 12th Anniversary Firmware. It is currently on the Firmware it shipped with. Still has a warranty that can be transferred. ~20 Months Left. I also have a Denafrips Hermes DDC. If interested, PM me. International shipping can be negotiated based on area. I do not want to overcharge; this is a large shipment so prices are generally high. Original box.

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.
