About the Ares 15th + Hades 15th

The Ares 15th DAC celebrates Denafrips' 15 years of digital audio expertise with a compact anodized aluminum chassis available in silver and black, featuring R2R ladder networks, low-phase-noise femtosecond oscillators at 45.1548MHz and 49.152MHz, upgraded linear power supply with custom capacitor bank and eight multi-stage LDO regulators, and connectivity including USB, I2S HDMI, coaxial, optical inputs, plus balanced XLR and RCA outputs. Paired with the Hades 15th preamp, which employs a pure Class-A true balanced fully discrete line stage, 60-step microprocessor-controlled relay-based stepped attenuator with precision-matched resistors, proprietary O-type transformer, low-noise linear power supply, and inputs/outputs supporting XLR and RCA at unity gain, this combination delivers precise, rich, and detailed sound reproduction with ultra-low distortion, high signal-to-noise ratio, and natural musicality.
