About the Pontus 15th R-2R

The Denafrips Pontus 15th Anniversary Edition is a true balanced R-2R ladder DAC celebrating 15 years of digital audio innovation. It employs hand-matched 0.005% tolerance resistors in a dual-mono configuration, with separate power supplies for analog and digital circuits via silver cabling. The redesigned linear power supply uses dual 80VA O-core transformers in a box-in-box design to eliminate interference. Key features include adaptive FIFO buffer reclocking with LPNO crystal oscillators, proprietary 32-step FIR filters, and driverless operation for Mac/Linux systems. It supports DSD1024 and PCM1536kHz through USB/I²S inputs, with dual AES/EBU connectivity for professional setups.
