PONTUS 15TH
THE NEW
The Digital To Analog Decoder for music lovers
To commemorate DENAFRIPS’s 15 years of digital audio excellence, the most popular best selling PONTUS 15TH Anniversary Edition features several performance enhancements at components level that might not be visible by the naked eyes but certainly audible for the seasoned and trained audiophiles' ears.
​
The original Pontus II DAC shattered the expectations of what a R-2R Ladder DAC could be. PONTUS 15TH
superior sound quality enhancement took it to another level.
The PONTUS 15TH is a true balanced, dual mono R-2R Ladder Network Arrays DAC. Each channel is equipped with independent high-speed FPGA to facilitate the digital signal decoding by means of 4 sets of 0.01% R-2R network. The choice of such design yields very small linearity error, high decoding speed, and low digital noise, not only to ensure that the audio signal is of very low distortion but also to ensure a very low background music noise; allowing listeners to enjoy the true music with a dark background.
​
All digital inputs are FIFO buffered and reclocked by the onboard FEMTO crystal oscillators. The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS DAC less reliant on the source equipment clock quality. PONTUS 15TH can
transform your consumer-grade computer, CDPlayer to high-end sound quality.
​
Non-Oversampling R-2R DAC /Signal fed to the DAC remains in its native sampling rate without additional processing. PONTUS 15TH is a true NOS DAC.
Pontus further enhanced the linear power supply design compared to the Ares. The power supply is encapsulated in a thick metal alloy, equipped with dual o-core transformers, completely isolated super linear regulator, multistages power supply for digital and analogue sections, ensuring low noise, high availability power supply to the DAC.
ENCAPSULATED
LINEAR POWER SUPPLY
​
Clean power equates to the foundation of good sound. A dedicated linear power supply unit, designed and encased in a 1.5mm thick metal alloy enclosure, can be found underneath the DAC motherboard.
The box-within-box design, not only does it eliminates the inherited problems of dual box solution, it presents the details and attentions DENAFRIPS put into the premium DAC design.
Beefy dual O-Core Transformers for Digital and Analog sections, Ultra-Low ESR, Long Endurance Reservoir Capacitors, and multi-stages super linear power supply, ensuring ultra precision, low ripple power supply charging up DAC.
The PONTUS 15TH is an ideal digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for music enthusiasts who prioritize intricate details, expansive soundstage, precise imaging, and a touch of warmth to enhance musicality.
Its remarkable performance is arguably one of the pivotal elements in high-fidelity audio systems.
