Denafrips Enyo Digital Analog Converter (DAC) Selling a Denafrips Enyo purchased from Dacman in Vic for $1500 in March 2024. Haven't used for 6 mnonths as I moved to a system that has an inbuilt dac which can't be bypassed. So this unit is probably not broken in fully yet. As new condition. Sounds fantastic being used with a pair of vintage Merdian M2 speakers. Can supply receipt email from DACMan for warranty. Can demo if my pre-amp isn't sold first (separate ad) Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT, Cash Region/State: (QLD) Queensland/Australia By JeffH 0 Comments AUD $750 D
Ambitious asking price at AUD750 for a used Denafrips Enyo—likely the 15th edition R-2R DAC, not speakers (easy mix-up in listings). New ones retail around AUD1100, with typical used market landing in AUD500-650 based on recent sales, depending on condition and accessories. It's hefty and punches above its weight sonically per Guttenberg and Audio Stuff reviews—smooth, musical delta-sigma alternative—but AUD750 feels steep unless pristine with full kit.
Buyers, verify it's the balanced model (RCA/XLR outs) and probe for NOS/OS mode functionality, as firmware glitches have cropped up in early units. Insist on original remote, manual, and all cables (USB/coax/optical/I2S); check for heatsink dust buildup or relay chatter, common in 1-2 year-old samples. Test with familiar tracks to confirm that signature R-2R warmth holds up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Denafrips emerged in 2012 from Guangzhou, China, founded by Mr. Zhao, an electronics engineer with a Bachelor’s degree and over 15 years at a major OEM manufacturer. Raised amid a family of trained engineers, Zhao launched the brand as a modest five-person venture in the Panyu district, where it has since expanded into a 15,000-square-foot facility employing 40 to 90 staff. All research, development, assembly, quality control, and most manufacturing occur in-house, embodying a commitment to self-reliance in a hub of high-end audio production.
The brand specializes in proprietary discrete R-2R digital-to-analog converters (DACs), its cornerstone products, alongside CD transports, digital-to-digital converters, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and headphone amplifiers. This lineup, grown from four initial DACs to over a dozen, prioritizes analog-like warmth and natural timbre over sterile measurements, with the name Denafrips acronymizing values like Dynamic, Exquisite, Natural, Attractive, Fidelity, Refined, Intoxicating, Pure, and Sophisticated.
Denafrips holds a strong position in the high-end audiophile market, celebrated for innovative engineering, meticulous craftsmanship, and exceptional value that challenges pricier Western rivals. Positive reviews and owner feedback worldwide affirm its sonic prowess, backed by a three-year warranty and direct-to-consumer sales, cementing its status as a Chinese pioneer delivering refined digital purity without inflated premiums.
