Thank you kindly for the offer! I may take you up on that at some point as I live in Western Ma. in Deerfield. I have been quite convinced based on my research and the testaments of owners and those who've heard these units that they are the real deal. I have decided to go for the Venus as I...

Hello all and thanks ahead of time. First, I'll share what I have set up then what I'm thinking of doing. Current system is such: HTPC connected to dac via s/pdif to preamp to amp to speakers Planning on buying a new Denafrips Venus and Singxer SU-1 and started wondering if I...

I did a quick search for this on the forum and didn't find it although there are individual meets and audio shows mentioned. I really think it would be beneficial to all of us if we had global audio show calander available so everyone could see what venues are occurring, what they consist of...

So only three people have heard theses units this far? I am bumping this thread in hopes of getting more people involved!

Alvin could you give us your opinion since you are the only one who has stated you've heard all four Denafrips Dacs and no one has responded to the poll as hearing Venus yet. If you were able to put a percentage on Terminator's ability at 100% what percentage of its ability would Venus capture...

This is the feeling I got when I went to tubes! The line stage design by Don Sachs gave me this type of listening sensation. It was shortly after this that I upgraded my amplification to tubes as well and I have been dreaming of the unlocked potential within my system that an amazing dac like...

It helps knowing people who share ones passion for music. I am a fan of all style of music and have around 700 albums in lossless format ranging from classical to jazz, blues, reggae, hip hop, electric, metal rock n' roll, indie, country, folk and so on...... I collect 78 records as well and...

Awesome input Stefano! Thanks. This is exactly the kind of real life experiences I am hoping to get from everyone out there. I have yet to have the opportunity to hear the Denafrips equipment but plan on making a purchase of the Venus by year end. I have been milling through numerous forums...

Calling all Denafrips dac owners to post your listening experiences here! What model Denafrips do you have or have you had the opportunity to hear? What dacs have you listened to against this Denafrips unit and what were your opinions? Please feel free to add any other experiences you've had...

I'm in western MA. No headphones at the moment but I have my custom line stage, a VTA ST-120 tube amp, and my fully self modded Music Hall 25.3 which will be in my possession until I get my Denafrips Venus and sell it. Been listening to stereo system since I sold my pink driver Grado Rs-1's and...

So in your opinion the Denafrips Pontus ($1600) shipped is equal to or better than Holo Spring Level 3 Kitsune ($2600)? This is what you are implying with your deuce statement correct? This is very encouraging to hear from someone else who has listened to these dacs. I posted on my thread...

I was considering the Holo Spring level 3 and contacted them with questions on Friday but never received a reply. I emailed them again, and still no response. This is discouraging me from spending money for a unit modded by Kitsune. Their contact page states how much they wish to make a good...

Hello all . I am looking to upgrade my dac. I will give some background first. I listen to all types of music in lossless format on a HTPC that I built. I like DIY and am likely to mod anything I purchase to improve its SQ if possible. I hope I can avoid flame wars here as I am asking for your...

Sorry, wrong location

I have a Music Hall DAC25.3 hooked up to my pc.  I run it through my Little Dot I+ to Grado RS-1 headphones and love it.  The stock amp in the dac is decent enough in my opinion.  It isn't as good as the Little Dot, but it suits its purpose if you don't have a stand alone headphone amp.  Where I...
