DENAFRIPS lists the following R2R DACs:

Ares, Pontus, Venus, and Terminator (in increasing price order).

"DENAFRIPS incorporated in year 2012, focus in developing high end audio equipment at a very affordable price. Throughout the years of intense Research & Development, and continuous improvement of the product lines, DENAFRIPS had finally settled with the current product range equipped with R-2R ladder DAC technology. The reason behind this is the designer strongly believe that R-2R DAC is the best way to reproduce music.

R-efined
I-ntoxicating
P-ure
S-ophisticated

This mean a lot and it is the house-sound of all DENAFRIPS products." [Copied From Denafrips About Us section]

That's really interesting, I wonder besides the higher sample rates, if there are noticeable sonic improvements for red book streaming.
Anyone compared an Audio-GD R2R11 with the Denafrips Ares? Interested in comparisons with these 2 companies in general, as well.
I love the review and video, Steve G. is a class-act; calm and collected. Unlike some reviewers on YouTube, who can’t seem to keep their emotions in check 🤪

Ares is an incredible value for anyone considering a solid performer under $1K.
