Popular Post BrownMagic Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 We did a Doge 8 vs Terminator Plus w/ DDC vs Holo May KTE shoot out and the audience voted for the Holo May as the overall winner in this setup. YMMV. Also as per @GoldenOne's findings, the terminator upsamples content to 768k even in NOS mode. So for those of you who want to compare the Terminator with other dacs, you might want to use HQP to upsample the other dacs as well. mikicasellas and Exocer 2 Link to comment

Can you provide a reference or link? https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2612:denafrips-terminator-plus-digital-to-analog-converter-measurements&catid=434&Itemid=577 You can see in the above measurements that NOS is not really NOS. This was also called out by GoldenSound in his review. Link to comment
BrownMagic Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 3 minutes ago, The Computer Audiophile said: I believe it depends on what sample rate is being sent to the DAC. If one sends 1,536 kHz, it’s NOS. I do not how know it works at 1.536. I am of the understanding that if you were to feed your Qobuz/Tidal which say is 16/44 to 24/192 into any denafrips dac and the mode selected is NOS, then the DAC applies DSP and upsamples it to 768k by default. Where as a NOS dac in NOS mode should allow 16/44 to be processed as 16/44. Maybe @GoldenOne you can explain in lay man's terms why denafrips dacs are not really NOS in their NOS mode compared to other NOS dacs. Thanks Link to comment
