R-2R ARCHITECTURE BEAST
“THE DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR is all about musical essence. It is the most transparent and most detailed sounding DAC I’ve heard so far. It’s able to reveal every subtlety in a recording – and does this better than the pricier DACs.”
Jay Luong, Mr. Audio Bacon himself:
– Energetic, vivid, fun, & alive.
– Supremely holographic.
– Velvety smooth, precise, and solid imaging.
– No signs of grain or digital hash.
– Never congested.
– Composed weight, resolution.
– Physicality, articulation, & air.
– Impactful low-end.

ARES II DAC
SGD $1028 at landed cost + gst
DESCRIPTION
The Ares II DAC is a 20Bit/1536KHz, native DSD1024, discrete resistor ladder Digital To Analog Converter, also known as R-2R DAC.
The architecture uses the most primitive R-2R DAC technology, it is probably the most suitable architecture to reproduce music. Despite the test results of various measurements and parameters of the conventional R-2R DAC are usually not as good as the mainstream integrated DAC chip, but the sound of R-2R DAC, is often filled with emotion, comfort, high fidelity, transparency, and additive musicality that most of the common mainstream integrated DAC chip cannot match.
To achieve a decent sounding R-2R DAC, the use of ultra-precise resistors is necessary. The Ares employs true balance R-2R DAC design. Each channel is decoded by 4 sets of R-2R network.
Native DSD decoding support up to DSD1024 and PCM decoding supports up to PCM1536. Choice of NOS or OS, Slow or Sharp filters, the Ares II upgrade just make the already awesome DAC a few notches better!
PONTUS DAC
SGD $2298 at landed cost + gst
DESCRIPTION
NEW DSP!
Pontus is DENAFRIPS premium DAC. To achieve the highest possible sound quality within the price constraint, Pontus adopted the technologies found in the flagship TERMINATOR. Yes, that’s right, Pontus is designed around the similar architecture of the flagship TERMINATOR.
The chassis is made of massive aluminium plates, securely fastened with internal bracket and no visible sign of bolt from the front panel and top cover. The all-aluminium enclosure, double up as shielding and anti-resonance, the criteria for an audiophile, yes?
VENUS DAC
SGD $3998 at landed cost + gst
DESCRIPTION
NEW DSP!
Venus is DENAFRIPS 2nd-tier flagship DAC. To achieve the highest possible sound quality within the price constraint, Venus adopted the technologies found in the flagship TERMINATOR. Yes, that’s right, Venus is designed around the similar architecture of the flagship TERMINATOR.

TERMINATOR DAC
SGD $5998 at landed cost + gst
DESCRIPTION
NEW DSP!
The Terminator is DENAFRIPS’ flagship DAC. Being a flagship, the Terminator is filled with our years of R&D achievement in it. State of the art fourth generation discrete resistor 26Bit R-2R for PCM decoding, 6Bit DSD hardware decoding with 32 steps FIR filters, a total breakthrough of the traditional integrated chip constraints.
The DAC core conversion module R-2R is constructed with 0.005% high precision, 10ppm low thermal effect precision resistors. Each channel uses more than 500pcs of these precision resistors, or 1000pcs for two channels, it’s 4 times more than the other typical R-2R DAC. These achieve a truly astonishing low distortion, fully balanced design. Crystek flagship ultra-low phase noise FEMTO clocks are used with FIFO technology to ensure the DAC clock is independent to the input signal.
