What did you get to replace your Ares DAC ?I've compared a handful of DACs along with the Denafrips Ares II. I can understand the appeal [everybody raves about it] but it wasn't for me. These somewhat recent auditions are better to my ears:
- RME ADI-2 DAC FS
- PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC
- Ayre QB9-DSD
- Chord Qutest
- Topping D90But as we know, it comes down to personal preference. No argument from me that the Ares II was smooth and warm - but it gave up detail and 'slam' and it got a bit congested with anything but 'simple music'.
