World Premiere: DENAFRIPS ARES 12TH-1 R-2R Ladder DAC




 

Dear friends,


Greetings!


We are thrilled to introduce the DENAFRIPS Ares 12TH-1 DAC, a product of our utmost delight. Expanding upon the tremendous success of its predecessor, the Ares 12th-1 takes the remarkable build quality of the Ares 12th to even greater heights. With the addition of an anodized aluminum chassis, the Ares 12th-1 undergoes a transformative enhancement. This revolutionary step sets the stage for the forthcoming DENAFRIPS streamer(!), which will follow the same compact form factor as the Ares 12th-1, presenting options in both sleek silver and elegant black finishes.


We understand that the release of the Ares 12TH-1 in a relatively short period of time may come as disappointing news to customers who have previously purchased the Ares 12TH from Vinshine audio. To address this, we are pleased to offer eligible customers who purchased the Ares 12TH DAC a store-credit of S$100. This store credit can be applied towards your next order with us, serving as a gesture of our gratitude for your loyalty.


Feel free to reach out to us via email at sales@vinshineaudio.com, and we will be more than happy to supply you with a personalized coupon code.


Additionally, we will be releasing a new firmware for the Ares 12th, allowing you to update your DAC and experience the enhanced sound quality. We sincerely hope that you appreciate these efforts we have made to reciprocate the support of our valued customers.

 

The Ares 12th-1 has been enhanced with an anodized aluminum chassis, now offered in both silver and black colors.


This highly desired option fulfills the preferences of potential customers who seek a DAC in a compact form factor, particularly with a silver color choice. Building upon the immense popularity of its predecessor, the Ares 12th-1 further elevates the already impressive build quality of the Ares 12th.


The Ares 12th-1 introduces a simplified AC main power socket. This change is not a cost-cutting measure but a deliberate choice.


DENAFRIPS has customized the AC mains power socket in-house using UPOCC gold-plated copper. As a firm advocate of high-quality power supply being the bedrock of superior sound, DENAFRIPS has opted for a non-switched AC mains socket in the Ares 12th-1.


This adjustment brings the Ares 12th-1 closer to achieving an exceptional level of perfection.



Alongside the UPOCC gold-plated AC mains socket, the Ares 12th-1 boasts an enhancement in the form of a 60VA O-Core Shielded Transformer. This transformer is meticulously crafted in-house by DENAFRIPS engineers, utilizing UPOCC copper.


The oversized 60VA O-Core Shielded Transformer delivers substantial power to the multi-stage linear power supply of the DAC. This improvement ensures that the Ares 12th-1 receives an abundant and stable power supply for optimal performance.


 



Happy Listening!



Team Vinshine Audio
