I had a Denafrips Pontus DAC . It looked great & reviews were superb. It was really good. I really wanted it to sound better than my existing DAC. After many hours of serious listening I couldn't tell any difference so the Denafrips left the building. I don't need a DAC any more so I'm gonna move my original one on.
It has no preamp facility.... No headphone outlet... Etc. It does have a valve output option if you want that .. I preferred the non valve output but others beg to differ.
I appreciate your reluctance to go for a 'Topping/ SMLS but this is way better. It will cost you about £250
It's my Xiang Sheng 05b
