FEATURED REVIEWS


"...Denafrips has my highest respect for all four DACs in their respective price categories but my favorite two DACs are the Pontus and the Terminator Plus. The former already scratches the surface of the true high-end and the latter is so good that it makes life difficult even for DACs that cost considerably more.
 
All four Denafrips are great performers but especially the Pontus II and the Terminator Plus are highly recommended!"

The most anticipated review, ever!

The T+ is a thoughtful, well-executed and knowingly-voiced piece of audio technology;
evidence that we should take their engineering skills and sensitivity to audio quality very seriously.

A month spent with Denafrips Terminator Plus was enough to understand that we’d see several times as much on its tag if it were dressed fancier somewhere in Europe with according logo on its forehead or bonnet. Yes, it is an overachiever this massive, but Chinese origin and price to sell don’t make it any less real. If I were after a DAC now, I would look no further considering what this one does.

As you can guess I was impressed by this DAC. For me, it makes a big statement in having all the right audiophile components, measures superbly well and has a sound quality that makes it exceptional with great detail and superb naturalness. At the price……er…..a bit of a bargain. If you want the best, this could be it.

Denafrips has hit one out of the park. It’s now clear how they’ve built a loyal following in less than a decade. After many weeks of very enjoyable listening sessions, the Terminator-Plus proved a distinct step up in sound quality from my Bryston BDA-2 DAC in every regard.

This DAC is simply flawless. It sets the standard not only at its retail price but is one of the finest DACs I have heard regardless of cost.

The Terminator Plus by Denafrips sounds as if its creators wanted an “analog” sound in the LP release (let me remind you that the “master” tape sounds quite different from most vinyl records). 

A truly high-end converter for little money, which is why it receives the RED Fingerprint award from us.

The effect is very interesting and simply addictive.

The Terminator-Plus does more than just revisit a power supply with ultra capacitors for better-than-battery performance. It does more than just redesign the signal path layout to further reduce noise. It upgrades its clocks and adds outputs to control the clocks of upstream gear. That’s its biggest advancement!

This is the long-awaited review of the Denafrips Terminator and Denafrips Terminator Plus DACs. These are regarded as some of the best R2R DACs for the money, and I’m glad they offer such serious audiophile DACs at a not-so-serious audiophile price.

The transparency is shockingly good. The first time my wife listened to music through the Terminator-Plus, she immediately noticed details in the arrangement she hadn’t heard before. She has no interest in equipment and even less in technology. She just loves music. That’s what the Terminator-Plus does; it opens up any recording far more than anything I have heard in my setup #1.
