W1k2x Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Well done Cyclone7 the Terminator is a great DAC. Link to comment
Kenobi Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hello, Any updates from the owners? It would be very helpful to those looking for more impressions on these DACs. Thank you in advance. Link to comment
guymrob Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Have you guys tried Ares via USB (XMOS chipset version) to a Roon (ROCK) or Auralic Aries? I've issue when boot up these two together. I got a loud hissing noise. The LED display on Ares shows the followings: 48kHz and 8x LEDS light up. In this instance, I got a loud hissing noise. However, once I started to play a track, the loud hiss goes away. After that it works perfectly. I also discovered it only happens if you use Linux OS (Roon ROCK and Auralic Aries) but not Windows PC running Roon. Luckily this is loan set I got to try. The distributor told me the Amanero USB chipset will resolve the issue. Has anyone try this? I'm still interested in getting the Ares though... Link to comment

Matias Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The Terminator seem like a really nice DAC from what I have read so far.

Cyclone7 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I have had my Terninator for a few months. It is just right, in my system it has the elusive balance of being smooth, but still detailed. Spacing or separation between instruments is top notch. Link to comment

chrisc Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I received my first ARES in March 2017. I found it really good. After about 3 months it stopped working, so I had to send it back to Vinshine Audio who replaced it On 13th Feb this year, I was listening and there was a "plop" sound and it stopped working. Back to Vinshine with this one Alvin says they had some RMA failures with the XMOS USB interface and are now using the Amanero USB interface So I am waiting for this to arrive Fortunately, I have a VIVIERE DAC which is made here in South Africa. It supports 512k DSD and I think has tighter bass than the ARES Time will tell There are 32 pages of comments about the VIVIERE dac here - https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,22213.0.html In South Africa, about 100 were made and they change hands for ZAR11000 or so (about $800) I'm using a MacBook with JRiver 23 The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club.

chrisc Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Alvin swopped the ARES for a new unit with the Amanero USB chipset. This was done very quickly and delivery done by DHL. Big thanks to Alvin for such marvellous after-sales service The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club.
