Thank you for the video

Thank you Alvin. Great service, and I'm sure to buy some product from Vinshine again in the future.

Good luck Alvin and Vinshine Team

Good one Alvin.

What about Ares 15th? I see no content about it anywhere.

Thank you very much for working so hard to promote, sell and support Denafrips! I was so impressed with how you made sure we received the latest updates to our DACs this year. I love the sound of the Enyo DAC in my system with that upgrade. Your and your team's care and support for your customers is above and beyond. You are on and will stay on my preferred vendor list. I will continue to recommend you and the products you do have and support. May your future be very bright!

Well presented.

I can hear the difference of 10 pico seconds of jitter and its huge. It adds .000001% distortion

Thank you for your excellent service and all the best for your future endeavours!

Sorry to hear that. Still have your Vinshine R2R DAC.... was wondering when I need to switch to Denafrips... but I guess not.. all the best with moving ahead.. am sure something more exciting is in the works...

There is a dealer in Hawaii who did a great deal to promote Denafrip only to discover the same thing; I believe they cut their ties with Denafrips too

It is wired when I know a singapore company became the distributor of a chinese brand several years ago. Quite a lot chinese business person have big ambitions while small distributor cannot fulfill it.

Could there be a Vinshine Audio house branded DAC brewing in our midst? Only time will tell...

Thank you Alvin. I bought my Denafrips Gaia because of Vinshine Audio. Your attention and service is excellent.

Hi Alvin, what is the brand and model of the blue power cord you are showing? I'd like to use it on my Pontus 2.

I wish you all the very best in the future and sorry to hear the news....... "Every cloud has a silver lining"

Great review and very impressed with the build quality of the Terminator II. I have an Ayon CD5S with inbuilt DAC ( a few years old and no doubt showing its age) and plan to upgrade with the Terminator II.!

Does this modification make any difference when using external DAC? I only use my N130 as a transport, can you please advise if this modification improves the sound quality when using external DAC

Wasn't expecting this, but certainly not the end of the world 🙂. While I have purchased some Denefrips devices from Vinshine, I've been thinking of completely replacing my Denafrips set up with newer gear. DAC, DDC, PreAMP. Curious as to whether Vinshine will take Denafrips trade ins on which ever major line of audio gear they wind up carrying.

The problem is I don't want to buy it directly from China, I would rather buy from Vinshine. Looks like I need to buy LAIV instead of Denafrips now. =/

Thank you Alvin for your king help and support. You were the reason I bought all denafrips products. People thing that having a good product is enough. But the truth is that when marketing is good, just then you can sell everything, including a good product. Denafrips will regret this decision and you obviously will continue to grow, even further. Remember that everything get mess for the better... Thank you again!

I believe the brand was related to your person Alvin. As no Alvin related to Denafrips, the brand lose. You’re such a good human being.

Great video, thank you. It was an easy swap.

Easy install. I appreciate the tips in the video. I placed some heavy books behind the top cover after removing the top to keep it steady. The LPS is working well. It smoothed out the treble on my Eversolo standard.

Was waiting for your video on the 15th. Know I know why there isn't one. All the best to you and your team.

I will NEVER buy from Denafrips again.

Interesting. Looks like Denafrips was going through backdoor channels with multiple listings on AliExpress. If this is the case, I can understand ending this relationship. With Vinshine doing the marketing to get brand recognition, it seems unfair to allow others to reap the benefits of this work without their compensation. And without a distributor, servicing would undoubtedly fall to them. As their distribution cut of the profits is likely instrumental in funding upfront and overhead costs of servicing these items. They would likely get the blame for potential problems from mishandling issues from other vendors outside their distribution chain. I can't imagine telling customers of a product they distribute to be told that warranty claims are invalid because they bought it from the grey market. As someone who's bought from the grey market, I've understood these risks. But I've only gone that route because distribution for the products I wanted were no longer accessible in my country. In these cases, a local warranty isn't of benefit, simply because it doesn't exist. But the better pricing from grey market offset a lot of the risks. I basically paid 1/2 price for a product that I was willing to take a risk a warranty claim wouldn't be needed. But notifying customers of invalid warranties for a product they are marketing is only going to undercut any work they invest in raising brand awareness. This is downward spiral waiting to happen. Best of luck to Vinshine Audio and I think you've done the right thing. Nip this relationship in the bud and cut your losses while you can.

Alvin, you are a class act my friend!

Keep on Moving, Alvin. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8-Bn5dnkuCtk4E.html

Dear Alvin, thank you for the hours "wasted" with me even if it was night during your time, proving that this is the only way you can keep in touch with the customers who in time make your friends. We are here and we tell you from Romania that...... Show must go on.....

Dear Alvin, from my experience dealing with you & your Vinshine team, as I owned Denafrips & LHY products,I only have 2 words to describe it. INTEGRITY & EXPERTISE. It’s a loss to Denafrips. I don’t foresee Denafrips can give the level of supports like Vinshine did. All the best to you & Vinshine. Keep the videos coming #Respect….

I appreciate all insight and suggestions. I wish you well and look forward to watching the next door open and what is in store!!! Thank You,

What a pity! Vinshine Audio was the reason why I eventually decided to buy my Pontus. I was going to buy one of the new streamers once they support Tidal connect but now without your support its not gonna happen. I'll have to look at some more common brands. All the best Alvin

Thanks for giving us this sad news Vincent. Hopefully you can find another nascent dac brand that you can help bring towards greatness.

When I was growing up, the highest compliment my mother could give was saying someone was “good people”. You, and those employed at Vinshine Audio, are good people. Very good people.

Alvin...your commitment to your customers is very impressive. Good luck going forward!

Thank you Alvin for your honesty ans great work, your professionalism! It was a great pleasure to purchase from you ❤️ Good luck 🤞

Tough time for retailers. Many manufactures moving to direct to consumer, better margins for them and in theory lower prices for us (though doesnt look like Denafrips lowered the price of anything on their site). Kind of wonder what brick and mortar retailers will be left in the long run, but I wish all the best to Alvin and his company, whose reputation even I know about as a newcomer to the hobby.

With Alvin continuing to lead Vinshine, the future never looks brighter. His after sales service is top notch. Remains to see how Denafrips can maintain the same level of service without Alvin.

Good luck trying to communicate with the China manufacturer. Language barrier is a huge huge problem. Vinshine has been the perfect go between, being proficient in both English and Chinese. Now Denafrips buyers have to deal directly with the China manufacturer and that will be a major headache. As with all things in life, communication is key. And this is one area that will be a true challenge. If you don’t have a local distributor, I can only say, buy with caution.

A big loss for Denafrips from my point of view as Alvin is next level amazing when it comes with support and Q&A.

Thank you Alvin. In the past year or so I have purchased a Jay’s Audio transport and a Denafrips DAC. There was a problem with the transport right away and I was honestly concerned. Venshine was very quick to help resolve the problem by sending a new CD drive and a video on how to replace it. You folks were outstanding. I hope that with the changes Denafrips will offer the same level of support that I received from Venshine should a need arise.

Soekris might be up for a beautiful DAC

Vinshine Audio are the gold standard to me, they have my trust and future business.. period. Great people to deal with. I recently had a terrible warranty expereince with a NZ distributor for a Norwegian amp. It's not always the products that make the difference for me, it is the interface, integrity and confidence in the distributor that makes the difference. Vinshine team are superb and my preferred supplier. Thx.

Wow I dont even own a Denafrips but if I did I would certainly want to purchase it from a stand up lad like this gentleman here. Sounds like Denafrips loss for losing this company. Probably not the other way around. I am going to have to look further into Vinshine Audio and see what they offer. Big Props to you my friend for your grace, class and your civility. Much respect.

You guys have been gret as a company with top notch customer service. All good things must come to an end. I am sure your customers will continue to support you based on the way you treat your customers. Thank you and best of luck to you.

Thank you Vinshine and Alvin , your upgrade direction for my Pontus 2 is very helpful. Denafrips is an amazing product for the money. Best of luck for your future.Looking forward to new exciting products from you.

Thank you Alvin and team at Vinshine for your excellent service. Wishing you more success with new brands in the future! To Denafrips: your tactic to launch a 12th, a 12-1, a 15, doesn't give me confidence in your brand. I love your DACs, but that seems to be a misguided move.
