    Speaker amps for headphones

Compared to Beyer T1 and Senn...

    DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view

    I did the switch about a year ago, and I hardly remember the difference. I did it because i, for a period, upsamled all my music to 192000 using SoX in Foobar. When I gave up that upsampling, the sound seemed more relaxed, somehow, so i thougt i should try a nos dac. Ares sound more relaxed...

    DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view

    I exchanded my Marantz HD-DAC1 for this Ares. I'ts definately different, not shure if it's better. But I wanted to spend som time with a NOS dac.. I'm happy about it, and has no plan to change dac in near future.
