Dit is de denafrips r-2r dac, model ares ii. Hij werkt uitstekend en ik ben er zeer tevreden over, maar ik verkoop hem omdat ik momenteel wat extra geld nodig heb. Inclusief de originele kabel, origin
At €405, this sits below the €418 25th percentile and just under the €431 median, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. Against a new price that was around €915 for this model, it’s a meaningful discount for a well-regarded DAC.
The appeal here is the Ares 2’s very natural, spacious R2R sound: it’s admired for musicality, solid image depth, and a presentation that feels refined without being sterile. If the unit is clean and includes the original box/accessories, this is the kind of listing worth moving on quickly.

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.
