Thread for OWNER IMPRESSIONS, FEEDBACK, QUESTIONS, ETC. regarding DENAFRIPS DACs.

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.

The name, DENAFRIPS, stand for:

D-ynamic
E-xquisite
N-atural
A-ttractive
F-idelity
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]

As intriguing as this is, the 45mhz clock links between his products are a closed architecture as far as I can see. I would love to try it, but have been using a 10mhz clock link between Esoteric and SOtM products and see no way to interoperate without a complete reboot. A 10mhz clock link also fits into the studio recording environment.  From a marketing standpoint it would have been better for Terminator to have taken a closer look at what established manufacturers are doing with master clocks.

Thanks!  I've been using the DENAFRIPS Ares ii with HYSOLID App on my iphone and Windows 10 on my PC for the USB input.  It seems to work fine for DSD files and others.  What do you think?
