Har uppgraderat helt i nyskick. Jag tror dem flesta vet vad detta är för en musikalisk dac. Köptes ny av mig så jag är enda ägaren. Skickas ej. Mvh Lars
At this price point, the obvious alternative is either a first-version Pontus or a different mid-tier DAC, but the Denafrips PONTUS II listed for kr SEK 12,500 is a fair deal compared to the typical used market. Ground truth from seven recent comparable SEK listings shows a median of kr SEK 12,665, with the 25th percentile at kr SEK 10,784 and the 75th at kr SEK 12,869. Since kr SEK 12,500 sits just below the median, it’s a fair ask, not a bargain but certainly not ambitious.
This DAC is well-regarded for its smooth, detailed sound that brings micro details with magic without ever offending. It handles MQA and high-resolution codecs flawlessly, making it a standout in its class. The listing’s clean condition and likely original-owner status add meaningful upside, especially given how quickly these units vanish from the used market. At a fair price with no red flags, this is a solid buying opportunity for any enthusiast seeking refined digital-to-analog performance.
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.
