@Chibs , thanks for the high quality review, it's awesome!

Hey man, you're very welcome :)

As @sajunky suggested, AES/EBU or SPDIF is quicker to test & compare the sound correctness. I2S is a little more complex. @BzzzzzT, glad to hear you've set up the Iris / Pontus II DAC i2s pinout correctly :) p/s: Thanks for the help @shwnwllms!

Thanks for the suggestion! @GoldenOne We will have rolled out an Special Firmware of which enable the USB volume control. Please note that the volume control applies only when you use the USB input. With the firmware v3.14, you can use the Windows/ Mac computers volume slider to control the...

The poll results as of today are interesting, it's 80/20 where 80% voted for NO :)

roon will detect the USB receiver of the Iris DDC as 'DENAFRIPS USB Audio v3.12' as you're connecting the Mac to the Iris via a USB cable. The same goes to the Pontus DAC :)

Finally, it’s possible to update the firmware via a macOS. One of the most wanted features! USB MCU v3.12 is the latest and greatest firmware. If you use USB input, I highly recommend to update the firmware. Guide: https://www.denafrips.com/usb-mcu-firmware-update-mac Please reach out to us if...

Guide: Can i connect the DAC output to two devices?

I should chime in to clarify. @Myshkin shared the screenshots of the winOS Device Manager with me, it appears that the DAC was in ‘Firmware Update' mode. It could be accidentally triggered by a set of buttons-push-combination. To exit/cancel the 'Firmware Update' mode, simply power cycle the...

Hello Guys, Just sent a Production Update of the Pontus II DAC. Shipping will happen soon! Happy Easter!

The Hermes is trickled down from the Gaia DDC. The major differences between the Gaia / Hermes are: - OCXOs in the Gaia are of superior quality - Gaia chassis is made of full aluminum panels - Hermes front panel is aluminum, chassis is metal alloy - Hermes available in black only I would say...

Thank you, @xllms ! One of the perks of being a businessman is... there is no such thing as time off! 🤠

Ops... Supposedly a soft launch but I guess internet makes news spread in split second, blazing fast? I will be posting more details when I get back to my desk 😃

Hi @johnzz4 , The SMPS in DENAFRIPS components is use to power up the voltage sensing circuitry. This is how the sensing circuitry works: DAC/DDC first power up (cold/black start), SMPS powered up SMPS supply voltage to the voltage sensing circuitry. The sensing circuitry comprises of...
