#Bitperfect app with denafrips dac upgrade

Now let’s go back in time and catch up with what we’re learning here.īack when CD’s first came out the r2r dac’s were I take it the defacto way to decode digital, but they were expensive and kinda crude. Let me address your thoughts here, first I would still build a system around the main gear, especially the speakers and amp, there must be good synergy first there or nothing is going to sound good.

#Bitperfect app with denafrips dac upgrade

If I were to recommend to someone who couldn't decide between the BP or the Pontus (they are in a similar price bracket if you get the SE upgrade on the BP), I would have to say go for the Denafrips, I've listened to it a lot and it just sounds very real, it also as all the inputs you could need, the BP does up the realness, in general that is it's focus leaving connectivity and anything resembling high resolution behind.Ĭlick to expand.Well thank you for the kind words! I too am learning a lot, two weeks ago I had no clue about all this r2r dac business and now I own one! I got the I2S input fitted with the HDMI jack (don't use it yet). Recently the Pontus has begun to sound exceptionally gifted with detail and how it presents in the sound stage. The Denafrips is right there with it in most respects.

The BPdac somehow has a bit more body to it's overall presentation, in a very good way it does make instruments and sound in general more realistic and palpable.

I also have a Border Patrol dac as well and these two are both well worth a listen to.

I have a silver Pontus and it's been switched on since sometime in May, I set it to NOS mode and that's it.Īlvin is correct about how it just seems to bloom after many hours.
