oops, thanks for that clarification (well spotted) elisiX, had my numbers mixed up.

Cool, many thanks for the quick reply

Hey RMEr's Us Aussies were able to purchase the 2022 Utopia over the last few days from the AD at US$2650, which as you know is a steal. Of course, I picked up a pair to compliment my HD800s, LCD-3's and ZMF VC's Without going through the entire thread, could those who know please share their...

Finally picked up a mint 6-month-old Silver Pontus II for (US)$1300 to pair with my Burson Soloist 3X GT and Streamer. It didn't seem worthwhile to pay the extra dosh for a new 12th Anniversary Happy Camper Here

Pontus II 12TH Anniversary Edition True NOS R-2R DAC Enhanced & fine-tuned Power Supply (what exactly is enhanced and fine-tuned?) Gold-plated screws & conductors for power transfer from PSU to the DAC module (you're kidding me!) Amazing !!!! Denafrips went all out improving their Pontus II...

"Yes, I've just bought one. It arrived in the UK on Monday last week. The differences are really minor. There are slight (unspecified) component changes to the internal linear power supply, and the mechanism by which the power interfaces with the main board is different. Minimal to no SQ...

I'd like to know as well

I just picked up a pair of Burson V6 Classics. Can I have advice from those who are more knowledgeable as to where they are best suited in the 3X Gt please, or is it a matter of trial and error/preference?

Thanks for taking the time to reply sanjunky, appreciated. I'm wondering what you think would be an end-game headphone amp for a similar price or preferably less than the Burson 3X GT? Always thankful for opinions

Has anyone considered changing from their Bitfrost 2 to the new Ares 12th because of the addition of I2S to the Denafrips? I ask because the new Mercury V2 has great specs and I only stream music via Qobuz.

I currently use a Bitfost 2/64 and have a Mercury V2 on it's way, they will be connected to a Jot 2 or a Burson 3X GT. I intend to connect the Streamer to the DAC via a supra 75Ohm coax and XLR's to the amps If I change the Bitfost 2/64with a Denafrips 12th via I2S, will I get a better...

Here's an idea. It would be interesting if Schiit could offer a second upgrade path to the Bitfrost 2. How about adding an I2S module within the USB slot to take on the Denafrips 12th?

Many thanks for the reply. Looking forward to it. Happy Days indeed!

I'd be very interested in knowing how this r26 compares to the Bitfrost2 2/64 and even more so if you have a streamer connected. Cheers and Beers
