DENAFRIPS CELEBRATES 12 YEARS OF UNWAVERING AUDIO EXCELLENCE

Incorporated in 2012, DENAFRIPS is based in the charming Chinese city of Guangzhou, where it began as a manufacturer and designer of high-end audio equipment. They firmly believe that high-end audio equipment does not necessarily have to come at a steep price. With their line of audio products, DENAFRIPS has an unwavering commitment to audio perfection that has won the community of audiophiles over. DENAFRIPS's lineup of R-2R DACs has received excellent praise. DACs, DDCs, Pre-amplifiers, Power Amplifiers, and Headphone Amplifiers make up their current product line. Since their release, their DACs have caused a stir in the high-end audio industry. Continuing their legacy, DENAFRIPS has released the Ares 12th Anniversary Edition, Pontus II 12th Anniversary Edition, Venus II 12th Anniversary Edition, Terminator II 12th Anniversary Edition and Terminator Plus 12th Anniversary Edition to commemorate 12 years of unrelenting audio excellence.

HIGH-END COMPONENTS FOR IMMACULATE SOUND

DENAFRIPS Venus II 12th draws inspiration from its big brother TERMINATOR DAC. Despite its physical size being exactly the same as the little brother PONTUS. This is done to achieve the highest quality of sound while keeping in mind the cost constraints. Venus II 12th is equipped with TCXO, DXD/DSD1024 DSP board, EVOX/WIMA caps, as well as the MU Metal sheet shielding in between the main DAC board and the encapsulated PSU enclosure. This all-aluminium enclosure doubles up as shielding and anti-resonance.

TRUE BALANCED DUAL MONO R-2R NETWORK ARRAY DELIVERS SPECTACULAR SONIC PERFORMANCE

The DENAFRIPS Venus II 12th is a true balanced, dual mono R-2R network array DAC. This means each channel is equipped with an independent high-speed FPGA to control the decoding employing 4 sets of 0.005% R-2R network. This design has a very small linear error, high decoding speed, and low digital noise. This not only ensures that the audio signal has low distortion but also ensures a very low background music noise. All digital inputs are FIFO buffered and re-clocked by improved Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators TCXO. The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS DAC less reliant on the source equipment clock.

ALUMINIUM CHASSIS AND ENCAPSULATED LINEAR POWER SUPPLY

The chassis construction for the DENAFRIPS Venus II 12th is full aluminium plates, securely fastened with internal brackets and no visible sign of bolt from the front panel and top cover. The all-aluminium enclosure doubles up as shielding and anti-resonance which is an important criterion for audiophiles. The company further enhanced and refined the linear power supply design of the PONTUS with premium components. The power supply is encapsulated in a thick metal alloy, equipped with dual o-core transformers, a completely isolated super linear regulator, multistage power supply for digital and analogue sections, ensuring low noise, and high availability power supply to the DAC.

EASY ACCESSIBLE FRONT PANEL

Venus II 12th’s front panel is designed for easy access to most of the functions the device has to offer. This includes input switching, phase invert, choosing between oversampling or non-oversampling mode, mute button and a mode button that doubles as a filter button, and toggling between slow or sharp digital filters.

EASY CONNECTIVITY WITH MULTIPLE INPUTS & OUTPUTS

DENAFRIPS Venus II 12th has multiple input options to choose from. This includes - Coaxial 1 via RCA, Coaxial 2 via BNC 75 Ω, TOSLink x 1, AES EBU x 2, USB and I²S via HDMI LVDS. The PONTUS II has two analogue output options - RCA at 2.0Vrms, 625 Ω and XLR at 4.0Vrms, 1250 Ω.
