A Digital-to-Analog Converter for Music Enthusiasts

Pontus 15TH has achieved an unprecedented breakthrough in audio quality. Employing advanced audio enhancement technologies, it delivers sound that is even more nuanced, profound, and layered. This is not merely a simple upgrade; it represents a profound challenge and transcendence of traditional audio perceptions, offering audio enthusiasts an unparalleled auditory feast.PONTUS  15TH

This DAC boasts a genuine balanced R-2R ladder network array design, with each channel equipped with an independent high-speed CPLD. It decodes digital signals through four sets of 0.005% R-2R networks, ensuring extremely low distortion and background noise in the audio signals. Every note resonates vividly and fully, leaping into the listener’s ears.

maintain the original sampling rate of audio signals to  the greatest extent. Additionally,  all digital inputs undergo FIFO buffering and are re-clocked by an on-board CPLD crystal oscillator, providing exceptional jitter suppression capabilities. This minimizes the DAC’s reliance on the source device’s clock quality, further enhancing audio quality.2.png

Pontus 15TH’s power design also exemplifies remarkable ingenuity. The innovative box-in-box design perfectly isolates the DAC motherboard from the linear power supply unit, effectively preventing external interference from impacting audio quality. Meanwhile, the metal alloy casing enhances the purity and stability of the power supply.下载.jpg

All digital input are FIFO buffered and reclocked by the on board LPNO crystal oscillators. The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS DAC less reliance to the source equipment clock quality. PONTUS 15TH can transform your consumer grade computer, CDPlayer to high-end sound quality.

Non-Oversampling R-2R DAC /Signal fed to the DAC remain in its native sampling rate without additional processing. PONTUS 15TH is a true NOS DAC.

Clean power equates to the foundation of good sound. A dedicated linear power supply unit, designed and encased in a 1.5mm thick metal alloy enclosure, can be found underneath the DAC motherboard.

 The box-within-box design, not only does it eliminates the inherited problems of dual box solution, it presents the details and attentions DENAFRIPS put into the premium DAC design.

 Beefy dual O-Core Transformers for Digital and Analog sections, Ultra-Low ESR, Long Endurance Reservoir Capacitors, and multi-stages super linear power supply, ensuring ultra precision, low ripple power supply charging up DAC.

MID-END DAC
