The Denafrips Terminator II 12th Anniversary Edition is a reference DAC that commemorates Denafrips' 12th anniversary with enhanced performance and special components. A highly-regarded, high-end digital-to-analog converter known for its clean, transparent, and natural sound with excellent detail and a rich, layered presentation. Reviewers praise its exceptional build quality, powerful linear power supply, and advanced features like OCXO and a dedicated FPGA for signal processing, creating an immersive listening experience with impressive soundstage, depth, and control. While it shares Denafrips' house sound, the 12th Anniversary model offers a significant step up in performance, providing an "analog" and "live concert-like" quality that many users find captivating and non-fatiguing, even compared to much more expensive units.
Reviews praise its effortless and musical presentation, often comparing its performance favorably to DACs in higher price brackets. The specific MSRP is not consistently cited in search results, but it was an upgraded version of the Terminator Plus at its release.
Hardly a mark on this anywhere. Please review the photos for condition before purchase. Rated Excellent because it is over 12 months old. Manufactured Oct 17th, 2022. Comes with the standard three-footers; I used Stillpoint Ultra at 6 feet with great results. Not included in this sale.
I'm in Campbell if interested in an audition or to save on shipping for a will-call.
MSRP: 6995
