Since installing the Denafrips (approximately 25 hours of serious listening),I have not made one single adjustment, don’t want to change a thing, at least for now.

I didn't believe the Hermes could improve so much on the Venus II !!

After using it for the past 30 days, I can say the following about the Ares 12th/Iris combination in comparison to the Ares II (now Enyo) in the same combination. The improvements are even greater than I expected (or hoped for).

I recently purchased a Terminator II 12th Anniv second hand which I absolutely love. Could not believe how much better it is than my Yggdrasil.

The soundstage is now so much bigger compared to Ares. Also, I find the vocals are much clearer, with a lot more sparkle in the rest of the presentation. It is not a dark sounding DAC by any means.

In my system the Pontus sound amazing! The sounstage is very opened,deep and large. But above all the thing who stunned me is the natural tune of music. All is easy to follow. I can feel the subtility of musician playing their instruments. The sound flowing like water in a quiet river.

The Denafrips Iris was the perfect solution for connecting my computer to my Naim NDX 2.

The Pontus replaces a more expensive DAC (no need to name brand) and the improvement in definition, especially in vocals, and soundstage is not just noticeable, it is HUGE.
Maybe I’ve finally reached audio Nirvana…Nicely done! Thanks…Case
