Sehr schöner Ladder-DAC. Dieser Pegasus liegt irgendwo zwischen dem Denafrips Ares II und dem Denafrips Pontus II.
Er bietet sehr viel Detailreichtum und klingt äußerst transparent. Zusammen mit den analogen Eigenschaften des R2R-DACs eine schöne Kombination.
Laut Internet werden dieselben Komponenten wie bei Denafrips verbaut. Daher sagen viele, dass dieser Musician Pegasus aus derselben Fabrik stammt.
Kann über i2S angeschlossen werden – angeblich die beste Klangübertragung derzeit, wenn man den Audiophilen glauben darf (über HDMI).
Against the recent EUR comp set, €350 sits well below the €621 25th percentile and far under the €848 median, so this is a strong deal rather than merely fair. For a Denafrips R2R DAC, that kind of pricing usually stands out fast in the used market, especially when the unit is described as excellent.
These DACs are popular for their dense, natural tone, solid staging, and a presentation that tends to feel more relaxed than many delta-sigma rivals. At this price, the main upside is simple: a well-regarded ladder DAC at bargain money, with the usual used-audio benefits if it’s complete and functioning properly. If included accessories, remote, and packaging are present, it becomes even more attractive.
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.
