About the Venus 15th

The Denafrips Venus 15th is a high-end desktop balanced R-2R DAC designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality and performance. It features a new-generation circuit architecture enhanced with flagship-level technology to achieve deep and accurate sound reproduction. The DAC employs an OCXO AT-cut crystal clock with FIFO buffer and reclocking, providing unrivalled signal stability, very low jitter, and enhanced resolution. It supports 32-bit/192kHz DSD1024 True NOS playback and uses direct FPGA signal processing with optimized critical circuitry. The Venus 15th is a multifunctional Hi-Fi digital and analog source, equipped with a high-precision audio clock output interface for advanced synchronized clock systems. Power is supplied by a terminator-level gold-silver-copper alloy high-power O-type transformer paired with carefully selected imported filtering and custom audiophile-grade capacitors, ensuring a stable, reliable, and pure power source. The DAC is housed in a robust brushed aluminum chassis with a split cavity design and unique shock-absorbing legs, enhancing sound detail and layering for a serene and immersive listening experience. Dimensions are 430mm x 380mm x 125mm, with a net weight of 17.75kg. Compared to the Venus 12th, the Venus 15th uses a larger 250W single-crystal copper transformer alongside an 80W transformer, resulting in superior sound quality. This DAC is highly regarded for its lifelike musicality and versatile sound-stage adjustments, making it a standout component in any high-end audio setup.
