Tomahawk is released today, it has Amanero usb input and i2s input on rj45.

Damn, why not I2S over HDMI? SU-1 has HDMI out.

I would have preferred I2S over HDMI instead of RJ45 irrespective of how good the USB input was implemented

Looks like Tomahawk is now Pontus: Link
 
Which is more in line with their naming. I wonder how long Terminator will stick...maybe change to Zeus?

I'm disappointed by 'Pontus' name However it will be a good DAC with NOS mode and I2S input supported by my Soundaware D100 digital turntable, but I can not buy it because of name...

Probably Teeminator will be renamed to Hercules or Gladiator?

Cmon, it's fun. I's something like Schiit in English.

If you don't like Denafrips 'Ares' there is Armature 'Cronos'

Serious question. Is it just an Ares rebadged? And if so, how can they get away with that?

Audiophonics in France does a lot of private labeling.  They rebrand Teradak power supplies as well.  I don't think they make a secret of it, and they are not ripping anyone off.

Good for us here in Europe.

Saw a rebadged Halo Sabretooth too with the same "Armature" brand.

If Denafrips have no problem with it, all well and good.
 
But not ripping anyone off?  They've already added US $200 to the price charged by Dealer in Singapore.

I think this one is 24 bit instead of ARES's 20 bit. Probably, it used the same PCM decoding as PONTUS. Please correct me if I am wrong.
