Having owned the Ares II since 2020 and adding the Iris this past May, I noticed an improvement in soundstage, bass presentation, and greater detail. I upgraded to the Ares 12th when it was released in order to use the I2S connection with the Iris. This combination is pure bliss.

I look forward to learning more and possibly will purchase. Thank you... good job explaining the relationship between these 2 audio components and the manner by which one should purchase the DDC.

Thank you for making this video. I was confused between the two. The Aeres 2, however, does appear to be darker black in color in the video. It might just be the lighting. As far as you not sounding like other KZfaqrs, that is a good thing. This is more genuine, and from what you are saying, it shows that there is integrity behind the company which makes me want to do business with you more now. Thank you again.

I guess the enyo also suffers from lips sync issues when going from TV or processor then. This was the reason I sold my Ares, it had to run double duty and it could not
@VinshineAudio Жыл бұрын
DENAFRIPS DDC/DAC uses Adaptive FIFO Buffer, and Reclocking. These techniques yield excellent jitter rejection, however, the variable latency is inevitable. The latency may have an effect to video/audio lip sync, commonly known as lip-sync. If you plan to use DDC/DAC mainly for gaming/video streaming, it may not be suitable. If you use the DDC/DAC purely for stereo music listening, it would work perfectly. Some TVs come with a feature to adjust the lip sync delay. Example: www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00026069 If the TV comes with such a setting, it will be a good mitigating option to correct the lip sync for TV/movies.

Sir, I have a question. Should stacking the Ares 12th-1 by physically placing it on top of an amplifier such as the Cayin iHA-8 affect the sound in any way? I could swear that the staging collapses and instrument separation become less apparent. I read up on the amplifier saying that its internal transformer coil design allows for mininal magnetic leakage but i couldn't find anything on the Ares 12th-1. Is magnetic leakage a thing with your DAC and should it affect audio?

Thanks for the video, but should have just kept "Ares II" name, and have "Ares 12th Anniversary Special Edition" for the new product. The way they chose to do it by renaming a very successful product that is like 3 years old with a different name to accommodate a new product is more confusing.

is there any benefit of using a DDC for coax or toslink outputs of a streamer into an ares 2 DAC, or is it mostly a fix for USB issues?
@VinshineAudio Жыл бұрын
It really depends on which streamer you’re using. If the streamer outputs high quality digital signals, adding a DDC may yield subtle difference. I would consider the diminishing return in this case :)

Hi Scott, DENAFRIPS DDC/DAC uses Adaptive FIFO Buffer, and Reclocking. These techniques yield excellent jitter rejection, however, the variable latency is inevitable.

If you use USB input directly to the DAC, the latency is minimal, and the lip sync should not appear on USB input.

I still do not understand the logic behind renaming a very successful product (i.e. Ares II) to something different especially they being identical. IMO, Ares 12th edition should be known as Ares III. Let's keep thing simple to avoid unnecessary confusion to your customers. My 2c.
