Gustard in comparison to Levinson seems broken :wink_face:

The Denafrips dacs seem to be very well made, but do you know, if Denafrips will enventually add an ethernet input in the future ?

Do you mean an ethernet input as i2s input?

 

[fa02]

I mean an ethernet input as in the Oppo Sonica Dac.

Ok, an ethernet input as a network streamer.

@PitBul34 : I've seen that you have a Aune S16, i'm using one at the moment and intend to replace it with a R2R, do you mind a little comparison between S16 and Ares, what to expect?? Thanks you.

 

[Mr Pluto]

My actual dac are Mark Levinson 360S e Gustard X20U. In the next day I'll post my impressions of listening, a full review of the Ares also compared with my other DACs, and even with a Holo Spring Level one of my friend.

So, what are the first impressions of Ares vs Levinson and Gustard?

You may expect more microdynamic, more channel separation, deeper soundstage, stronger and more textured bass, neutral natural mids and more clear heights. AK4490 is a bit deaf relative to R2R, imo.  

 

[gunwale]

any comparison with mojo yet?

Sounds great, but what kind of soundstage does it feel though, the "standing in the middle of the music" or the "sitting a few rows back" kind of soundstage ? I wonder

Exactly, it would be a nice feature.
