Popular Post coach65 Posted June 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2018 I've had the Pontus in my system for a couple of months now, and have no complaints. Just slightly on the warm side with a lot of detail and a very natural sound. Micro detail is something special, and the way it populates the sound stage will have your head on a swivel. The Pontus is the third one down from the top. I heard the other three at Axpona, and was able to buy the demo. As a matter of fact they sold all four of them at the show. Denafrips has a hit on their hands. k6davis and hurka 2 Link to comment
coach65 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Tedevang, I'm still in the early days as well and have only used it to stream and play cd's through. Once I get some down time I'll start getting into what this thing can really do. I have been shopping DSD downloads and have a few in my cart. I'll let you know what the Pontus sounds like.

coach65 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Mine all work, however when I first set it up it sounded really dull and lifeless. The NOS/OS toggle was set to NOS. Once I set it to OS everything opened up to my ears. For a music lover it's really additive. Link to comment
coach65 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 That's good to hear. Glad it's not just me. But the difference is not subtle. Link to comment
coach65 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Does anyone have the Venus or the Ares. It's Terminator all the time here. I have the Pontus and would like to hear the impressions of the other two units. I'll check back. jomsjoms 1 Link to comment
coach65 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I have the Pontus, and have a very simple setup. I don't have near the gear that you do. But when I switched from NOS to OS the music really opened up for me. NOS sounded dull and lifeless on my rig. I can only imagine what the Terminator in OS mode will sound like on yours. Happy Listening. mikicasellas 1 Link to comment
coach65 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Up sampling. All of my cd's are on a hard drive and I do stream Spotify. Link to comment
coach65 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm curious, when you guys listen to music do you listen to the sound or the performance? Link to comment
coach65 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Has anyone here paired the Denefrips pontes with any of the innuos servers? Or any of the Denefrips dac's Link to comment
coach65 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thanks, I'm hoping to have my Pontes and Zen mini up and running soon. Link to comment
