About the Pontus II
The Denafrips Pontus II is a true balanced, dual-mono 24-bit R-2R + 6-bit DSD DAC featuring proprietary architecture with native DSD decoding using 0.01% precision resistors. It includes an encapsulated ultra-low noise power supply with dual o-core transformers, FEMTO or LPNO crystals at 45.1548MHz and 49.152MHz, adaptive FIFO buffer reclocking, and improved DSP FPGA code. Housed in a robust aluminum chassis weighing around 8.5-12.5kg, it offers superior measured performance with low THD+N, high SNR, and extensive dynamic range. Inputs support up to DSD1024/PCM1536 on USB and I²S, with balanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs. It remains in production, though succeeded by the Pontus 15th Anniversary edition with minor enhancements.
