Hello Alvin. I received my Venus 2 12th 6 days ago. I had to wait overnight before I could plug it in as temperatures here were minus 36 degrees celsius and the unit had spent a few hours in the UPS truck... Anyhow, I listened to it the day after and my first reaction was that I was underwhelmed. I let it run around the clock since then and just had a listen. Wow! I am really impressed by the sound. It is just day and night in only 5 days of break-in. I cannot wait to see how the sound will be after 3 or 4 weeks of break-in. I had previously heard an Ares 2 and a Pontus 2 and thought they sounded pretty good, but this is way better! You can count me in the Denafrips fan club now!

Mine is on the way! Gorgeous looking internals, you can see some thought went into the construction, at least to my eyes. Thank you for the video Alvin!

[@VinshineAudio]

Glad you like the video sir!

[@Hypofx]

love the Kinki on the rack :)

[@michaelwright1602]

That is that new floating suspension unit... A BEAST to say the least, and a bit pricey at $25,000...

[@TheBodhisattvaWisdom]

Love the pointer 🙂

Hey Alvin, may I ask what is that brand of room treatment diffuser array behind the audio rack? It looks nice.

Hello Alvin, LOVE LOVE ALLL of your videos...EXTREMELY informative...thank you. VERY interested in this product, just curious, will the "Venus ii 12th Anniversary" process 32bit PCM content?

I got my Venus 2 a year a half ago or so, is there some type of upgrade program to get the new juice?

[@slawek6829]

Whitch dac will be good upgrade for the b&w702s2 and rotel 1582mk2 2x200w?...my prepro is still old denon 2807 receiver 😵‍💫 ??

[@ericelmore2742]

I wanted to get the Venus 2 to use with my dmp-a6 standard edition. My question is would it be better to by pass the clocks in the dmp a6 and use the venus 2 clock. Would this be done by going usb from dmp into Venus. I want the take advantage of the best sound possible between using the two devices together. Currently I’m using the dac in the dmp-a6. Would love to know .

I am very interested in the new Kinki amp, it looks even much better :-)

[@VinshineAudio]

Thank you, Shawn. They sounds very good, as good as their look :)

[@shawnwu9529]

@@VinshineAudio I want to buy it, not sure if it is buyable atm. Any insights? :-D

[@shawnwu9529]

@@VinshineAudio Hoping to know when it will get released, and looking into buying one, I recently sold my Kinki integrated and I regretted it every since. It has the sound signature that I really like. My current amp is also great, but a new Kinki will definitely interests me. 😄

[@LimePieMusic]

Please tell me which DAC do you like more - Denafrips Venus / Terminator or Jay's Audio DAC2-MK3 ?

[@VinshineAudio]

My opinion is certainly biased. Just so you know, I like the Terminator II 12th DAC :)

[@jondu-sud274]

Hello Alvin, how much would you recommend spending on a Network Attached Audio Player to feed the Venus 2 12th with a good quality stream ? Do you recommend any candidate NAPs, or streamers that would work well ?

[@heinzbecker691]

Hi Alvin. Today i got my new venus...breaking in time for me now...but i dont get the i²s fine. i tested all modes but only one or another is doable. so dsd right or pcm right. both isnt possible with no wrong noises. i got a gustard U18 and i get the right mode on the shumann ladder dac, but not on the venus. theoreticly it must be one of 4 modes...but it isnt. on me or the other...i also tried with all 4 gustard modes. But i habe to say...the venus sound right out of the box fine...cant wait how it will sound after 250 hours😍

Is there any Pontus II 12 anniversary intro or comparison?

[@MarkoLerota]

Yes I would like to see Pontus II 12th anv comparison as well. Thanks

[@joshuaschneck]

Hi Alvin. For the Venus II 12th ed, would you recommend using a Denafrips IRIS DDC converter upstream to get the I2S format into the Venus II, or would this not help (and potentially even harm) the fidelity?

[@johnratcliffe6438]

Alvin, just for comparison, how many transformers are in Pontus II 12th, what design and how many watts per transformer? Thank you.
