it is a pontus with remote passive volume control - about time they did this
should sound nice, as pontus’ do
$2000 Dac
I have kept my eyes on the Dac comparisons. What I'd like to know is what Dac can I buy new or used for under $2000? I am looking for examples that don't throw the voices so far in front. Yes, I like the detail. I am coming from a Luxman dac that was very good, but I just felt the voices were too close, often pianos felt the same. Sometimes almost feeling a little glare as well. So, I am searching for a detailed dac with a little more laid back mids for under 2 grand, new or used. thanks

@jjss49 If that is true, and I have never heard the Pontus so I don't know, it has the passive volume control and the sound at a cheaper price. It is NOS, so I guess if you want over sampling options, you get the Pontus. |
I’m listening to my Divinity with the passive volume control and I love it. I was using a Truth preamp and also a Topping preamp before but with the Divinity it sounds better in my system with its own volume control. It sounds more open and has better separation of instruments without a separate preamp, as of now. Maybe some day I’ll try another preamp but for now I’m really enjoying it as is. Just so musical and involving. It’s hard to stop listening. |
