georgehifi Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Yeah, saw it a while back, I really would like one cheap in not working condition that I can repair, I offered this Gumtree guy a deal but he didn't want it, maybe someone else here would like it. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/baldivis/other-audio/mark-levinson-no-39-cd-player/1139108880 http://www.stereophile.com/cdplayers/292/#4ZrpkTb0oaXF2CJV.97 Cheers George Edited April 7, 2017 by georgehifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffinator Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I just found out today ( via head fi forums) that Vinshine Audio have put a 3 year warranty on the Denafrips. How good is that? [emoji4] What are the main differences between the Ares and the Vinshine Audio DAC R2R Ref? The tech has left me a little bit confused.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read reports on head-fi that one user preferred the Ares over the Vinshine. Vinshine Audio has now became the only distributor for the Denafrips Dac's, obviously they had their own Dac in their product list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfisk Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Well, that was supposed to be a joke... That's the only bad review I have read, I wonder if there is something wrong with his unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbeer Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Maybe, but Torq quite rightly states they paid top dollar for it and thats what they received, so thats what they reviewed. If the design is awesome, but the QA/QC is that bad then the review stands which strikes me as fair since its not a golden review sample or a freebie. I quite like that site as they're not pulling punches and they review a lot of top end gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky500 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Could the heart and soul of these R2R dacs be in the precision of the resistors. (for others more technical - measures well and sounds great) AGD appears to not use the precise resistors like others do. His R2R Module he sells for $43US which has 0.1% resistors. eg. Holo uses some sort of compensation circuit while denaflips uses very precise resistors. Edited April 20, 2017 by rocky500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ares, doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the Ares and the Pontus, just seems to be more of the same. But I really wish the Ares looked like a mini Pontus or Venus. That would have been some look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mloutfie Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 they are still available just expensive. Looking how DAC19 price literally doubles for the anniversary version compared to the original version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
