alvin1118 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Posted May 3, 2018 hi! alvin, was there a comparison with totaldac? There is one, but, IMO, way too brief to kill the Terminator. To each his own... https://www.audiostream.com/content/great-dac Not yet ! I am in the midst of writing a review for the Terminator. My personal DAC is the Totaldac D1-Six. Is there any specific thing you want to find out ? Thanks Eric! Look forward to your review. :D

domho8 Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Hi I had a denafrips pontus demo from Alvin. Too bad couldn't find the necessary cable to connect to my dap. Just want to compliment Alvin for his prompt & quick delivery of the dac to my place. Looks beautiful. I would like to try the Ares once his stock comes in. Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

domho8 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Finally took a bite at the denafrips Ares. No regrets. Out of the box it just sounded fantastic. Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

that dude Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Where can I request for a test of the pontus and venus? The last I checked no demo units were available.
alvin1118 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 There is a pontus on tour now. Pls WhatsApp me at 97six8466two.
zaek Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Anyone can tried Terminator and Chord Dave? Any feedback is appreciated.
DJQ Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Dave. i know a fellow forumer sold the Denafrips and got the Dave. :P vastly different and price tag also huge difference.
zaek Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 oic. I tried Dave at AV One and was very very impressed with it. And yes, that price tag is ...... Dave. i know a fellow forumer sold the Denafrips and got the Dave. :P vastly different and price tag also huge difference.
DJQ Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 i can't really give you much feedback, as his setup vastly different from my own. but i had heard his Denafrips DAC before he replaced Dave. the Denafrips hold its quite well at its own price tag level. improves ones setup pretty well. i am not a DAC lover, so would consider buying other products to compliment the improvement. its a personal preference, go for it if you want the much need resolution and details.
Eric Teh Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Anyone can tried Terminator and Chord Dave? Any feedback is appreciated. Very different tonality. The Terminator has a gentler top end presentation compared to the the Dave. The Terminator is warmer and has a relaxed tone, while the Dave is the high-information type of DAC. The Dave has a digital volume control and headphone output, and upgrade path by pairing it with a M Scaler. Both are excellent DACs in their respective price brackets. Instead of the Dave, you can also consider the Qutest paired with a M Scaler.
Funkyjazz Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 I am using Terminator with Singxer SU-6. Currently the channel is reversed. I tried a few combination on Singxer dip switch eg. all off, 3 & 6 on. Nothing happen? Terminator did not come with any instruction manual. Anyone know how to configure Terminator for I2S? All information need to google....

Nothing happen? Terminator did not come with any instruction manual. Anyone know how to configure Terminator for I2S? All information need to google.... There should be dp setting in su6 to reverse the channel Else u can try pressing the mode button on ur termi Gustard protocol - 1x, 2x and 4x light up PS audio protocol - only 1x light up * To change mode press the mode button to cycle thru various combination of the 1x, 2x and 4x indicator ** both singxer and denafrips can adapt to different i2s protocol. U need to set them to one common standard - can be ps audio, gustard etc Found some useful info I2s standard reference: https://download.shenzhenaudio.com/Gustard/GUSTARD%20U16%20USB%20Driver/GUSTARD%20U16%20IIS.pdf Take note of the data, bck, lrclk (whether they are positive or negative) Corresponding setting on termi on page 5: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/4b933e_81b73a51d21a4814800733cd8bbb0e70.pdf There are other i2s protocols eg holo, agd etc - but u can give the above 2 settings a shot I usually switch all dp switch off on singxer (ps audio protocol) and set denafrips to ps audio too (ie 1x light up when pressing the mode button on termi)

I did try the method you mentioned in the last sentence but without success. A very challenging DAC to play with... not plug and play type.
