[QUOTE="Cyzer, post: 930551, member: 16019"] Hi all! I looking into a DAC upgrade, and so far I'm really interested in a ladder DAC like the Denafrips Ares OR the Soekris dac1541(as it also has a decent headphone amp section). Reviews are helpful, but with ladder DAC's measurements don't mean much of anything due to the design topology. Are there any owners in SA that could shed some light and provide feedback on how either of these sound? So far I'm leaning toward the Denafrips as it supposedly has a more natural and slightly warmer tonality than the Soekris, and the use of a large amount of smoothing caps seems like a better design. But as I haven't heard either of them personally and I can't be certain. Any other recommendations are welcome. Let the discussion begin. :teach: [/QUOTE]
