This reference has been replaced by the new version: DENAFRIPS ARES 15TH R2R DAC.
To celebrate its 12 years of expertise, Denafrips presents the Ares 12TH-1, a high-performance, balanced NOS R2R DAC. The digital/analog conversion stage is made up of no fewer than 480 carefully selected precision resistors, and is combined with an Altera FPGA. The power supply stage of the Ares 12TH-1 is no exception, featuring a large 60VA O-core transformer with UP-OCC copper windings, eight LDO regulators and numerous high-performance capacitors. This ensemble enables the Denafrips Ares 12TH-1 to deliver sound reproduction of incredible precision, clarity and richness.
Key features:
The Ares 12TH-1's circuitry is housed in a sturdy, elegant anodized aluminum chassis. Its compactness makes for easy integration.
Le Denafrips Ares 12TH-1 profite d'une connectique complète. On y retrouve en entrée de l'USB-B associé à une interface STM32, de l'I2S via HDMI, de l'optique Toslink et du coaxial. Côté sortie on pourra compter sur du RCA stéréo asymétrique et du XLR stéréo symétrique.
