Blake Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi all. I ordered my Terminator last month and will be receiving my unit soon. After reading various online reviews and comments, my impression is that USB input is the generally favored input in terms of best sound quality. Is that correct?

You already posted this in another thread and we already debunked it. Why are you continuing to push this? Mike Powell (aka OCD Hi-Fi Guy), apparently forgot to take down his various YouTube videos about the Terminator. Mike no longer has any credibility: So, he praises the Terminator in comparison to the $20K Vermeer, raves about the build quality and sonics and says in the comments below the video that it is more musical than the Vermeer. Also funny, here is one of Mike's comments in the thread below the You Tube video: From Mike 1 year ago: "Interesting view, I will ultimately record with a hi res recorder I bought and find a way to upload them and do it well. Termi is a great DAC, best ive heard under $10K." So, when Mike was a dealer, in the video he says with the Terminator, you are buying a DAC worth $9,000. After Denafrips pulled the line from Mike, now Mike says the Terminator is a mediocre DAC, with sub-par build quality, worth no more than $1,800 according to his psychotic "rant" video, where you are expected to believe that he suddenly "grew" (manufactured) a conscience about worker's rights in China? .

Should I be concerned ?? Maybe it's like a fine meal, no one is talking because it is sooo good ?? You are in for a treat. The Terminator is a great DAC. I think things are silent here because Denafrips has been releasing a lot of products as of late (several new DAC's, D/D Converters, a Transport, etc.) so the brand new stuff always gets an initial rush of attention, then things slowly mellow out as people focus their attention on some other latest and greatest product. It happens all the time in the audio world and other hobbies (skis, bikes, cars, boats, golf clubs,etc).
