Like new Denafrips Pontus II DAC and Iris 15th Anniversay DDC bundle. No scratches, dents, marks on them and they work perfectly. Included are the remote control, an I2S cable for the cleanest digital signal connection and original boxes. The two units provide a jitter free, large clean, detailed Denafrips sound stage. Together they provide the audio your amps will love.
Ambitious ask: at US$2,250, this sits well above the recent used median of US$1,313 and even clears the 75th percentile of US$1,763, so it needs something special to justify the premium. For a clean, box-complete, well-documented unit with fresh provenance, that can still be a defensible ask; otherwise, it reads expensive versus the current used market.
The appeal here is the Pontus II’s strong reputation for weight, ease, and tonal density without losing detail, which is exactly why it stays in demand. If this is an original-owner piece with the remote, packaging, and all accessories, the buyer is mostly paying for confidence and convenience; if not, there should be room to negotiate because the price is already above the sweet spot.
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.
