Pairings

Dethonray Pegasus SG1 paired with Tangzu’s Wan'er SG

Jeff Golub: Cold Sweat


The presentation of the bass is as good as I have heard the Wan'er SG with any other device. The inexpensive Wan'er SG sounding great on the Pegasus SG1. The mid-bass is rich and well defined with hints of sub-bass. Particularly given the bassist's running bass and lots sliding along the strings, you get residue of vibrant sub-bass.

Mids are satisfyingly full without sounding like bleed from the bass notes, just well rounded. You hear the interplay between lead guitar and bass go seamlessly, then sudden burst of the saxophonist and (I believe) trumpets.

The highs are virtually in the background, except the occasional keyboard as though in conversation with the guitarist. The drummer goes about his or her business giving steady rhythm then the pauses on the track, the drummer throws in a few mellow cymbals notes, at some stages with the saxophonist but on close listening those cymbals are busy giving the track shimmer right through the track.

Despite the steady tempo this is a busy track with lots going on but it comes across as a nice and open presentation.

Enjoy your music!

The order is going to take a while, but you wouldn't regret it, the craftsmanship is top tier and a bang for your buck.
Anson is extremely helpful and friendly is well, I am sure he will help you with the order.
Good luck

Much appreciated

service@dethonray.com should work!
The other ones on the website don’t! Had the same experience!

Anson got in touch with me and told me to order from the Dethonray site on AliExpress. I have already ordered from there and the only color they have is red. I guess he's working on his next projects and doesn't have the time to make made to order cases anymore.

Red is still an awesome colour, anson didn't make the case itself, I assume he ordered a batch from the leather craftsman to skip waiting time and ship the leather case asap.
As the leading time for my order was quite long, if they have red colour in stock, it's no brainer to just purchase it and skip the pain of waiting endlessly.
Just found a photo for your reference

How do you contact Anson about getting a case? I've tried all of the email contacts in this thread and on the Dethonray web site and have never gotten a reply back.

service@dethonray.com,

Thank you. I'll see if I can get in contact with him.

Contact him directly! He is very nice and like to share some products info with audiophiles!

The red does look pretty cool. The Dethonray site is the only place that has pegasus sg1 cases. They don't have them on eBay, Amazon or any other site that I've seen.

Anson is down to earth. I can't wait to see what he's next product is. I hope it's another new-age dap with 4.4 pentaconn balanced phone out.

Anyone ever purchase from Audio Essence in Europe. How long roughly do they usually take to despatch after order placed.

Anybody paired the Pegasus with Dethonray Tender 1 planar IEM ?

I have the Tender 1 and like them a lot off a Mojo, Gryphon or Diablo and wondered if the Pegasus was worth considering being a stablemate for the Tender 1.

The Tender 1 take a fair bit of power, the Gryphon is often at around 80-90, how is the relative power of the Pegasus ?

Frankly I am not particularly sensitive to differences in DACs and amps so any difference between the Pegasus and the gear above would need to be pretty noticeable to be worthwhile for me.

Thoughts ??

I would recommend pairing the tender with either H1 (Tender/Ultraman firmware) or SG1 Gold, u won't go wrong with these two options.
Disclaimer: I personally don't own the tender and my suggestion is based on info shared by tender owners in the Chinese community, and the photo for your reference.

I understand that the information is anecdotal but it is a lot better than I would otherwise have, appreciated thank you.

What is going on with the second headphone jack of the gold version, I understand only 4.4mm is supported.

Are they both 4.4mm there and functional ?

The pictures here seem to show a couple of variations of something stuck in the second port but I can't make out what it is.

Well, I don`t have the special edition, but my impressions from the pictures is, that the gold version is using the same housing as the standard SG1 (except of the different color) - and because due to the missing 3,5 mm output the second "output hole" stays empty- so there is a kind of rubbery "placeholder" installed to cover it up. In the first batch the placeholder appears to be made of some sort of red rubber or plastic...while pictures of the newer batch show a golden metal part?
