Chris,

Incoming mean that you will have one on trial ? 

Yes. The company contacted me to ask if I’d review it.

it is likely that the dac arrives to Chris towards the end of the month ....
usually the arrival is one month after the order ....

I've been listening to it for days already :~)

This DAC looks similar to Denafrips DACs. Is it made in the same factory?

The USB driver has the Denafrips logo and the Musician name :~)

I don't understand if it is a competitor of ares II or pontus ......🤔

....or a completely different machine ....

It’s a DAC only, without an Ethernet input for streaming.

Chris, when do you publish the proof of Pegasus? 

I don't have a definitive date.

I've been communicating with Aoshida who solicited this review from me and I can't say my experience is any different. 

 

The Pegasus uses the Denafrips USB driver and even has the Denafrips logo on the driver. So far my questions have received evasive answers, misleading answers, and some that I'm not sure if they are lies or just accidental misstatements. 

 

I have more questions into Musician Audio, but so far no response. 

 

If I can't get answers that enable me to present more information to the AS community I will not be able to review this DAC. I just can't, in good faith, support or publicize or recommend a product from a company that I can't stand behind.

Hi Guys, for those interested in Denafrips, there is a new post on its website titled "Who Are We? DENAFRIPS explained."

I do not trust reviews based on headphones only, so please do it.

Thanks

Ah, no worries. Just wondering.

In the various correspondence some of you have had with Musician, has the company clarified who does the warranty service (Is there a U.S. service center? If not, is the buyer responsible for shipping to China?) and how long the warranty is?

 

Josh

I can’t get Musician to respond to anything right now.

Based on my experience with Vinshine Audio / Denafrips, I'd look at the Denafrips products in your list. Can't say which one I'd go with though, given the Ares and Pontus you pointed out.
