Your reviews never cease to amaze me Tarun ! Bravo again!
-
There are many Denafrips Ares reviews out there. But, this one is the bestest! : )
-
Thank you Tarun, another great review. Unbiased, technical and yet easily understandable. Have learnt so much from watching your reviews.
-
The level of technicality in this video was over my head, but you delivered it in such a thoughtful manner that I managed to keep up and maybe learn a thing or two. Thanks! I'll be checking out more of your videos soon
-
Your reviews are always so well researched and considered which gives them great credibility. I really enjoy your approach.
-
Hooray, another video from Tarun, and another home run (a six? Two countries separated by a common language). Great technical explanation and even better a great explanation of the sound of this DAC. So glad to hear of a company designing products for sound before technical specs. I have to say how much I like you reviewing style, like a friend or favorite teacher explaining complex topics, and glad to see the ProAcs back.
-
Great review. I feel more confident in this purchase and again for your advice that has enabled it. Really enjoying using this unit. Cheers
-
Best review yet on Ares II that I've seen. I like how you explain the innards and the why it sounds the way it does. Gives it a lot of credibility. I finally understand the hype.
-
As I am considering buying an Ares II I have watched all of the reviews available on YouTube, and this is the best done: clear, informative, and thorough. I have just subscribed to this channel and look forward to learning more from this gentleman.
-
Like so many, I’ve enjoyed your reviews. What has eluded me is why. And then, this morning while all is quiet, it came to me: your sincerity, your calmness and your attention to presenting a factual review. Your reviews are well, bespoke. Like no others. The Brioni of reviewers.
-
Yeah seriously man. These are some of the best reviews put there, period. Audiophile or no. Much respect, and thanks for putting these videos out there.
-
The review was great, but the beginning explanation of PCM vs. Delta Sigma was the real winner here.
-
Thanks for the great review Tarun. I dont have the DAC but have the Denafrips Hyperon and Hestia , amp and pre. It sounds fantastic. I just want to say that Vinshine Audio were a pleasure to deal with and every question i sent to Alvin Chee the owner , were always answered straight away , even on Sundays!! I am very impressed.
-
I really enjoy your smart, informative and earnestly accurate and honest reviews. Thank you very much.
-
Easily the most comprehensive and well balanced review on this now fabled dac. Easily worth waiting to hear your take on it.
-
Wow, on your recommendation, I just set my 18 month old Ares II to OS with slow filter. Nicely done! So much livelier and full-bodied! Thanks!
-
Hi Tarun you have been clear and professional in describing this wonderful Dac that I have just purchased, your reviews are perfect, I will always follow you! THANK YOU
-
Easily one of the best review of a dac, packed full of information.
-
I'm so glad you don't have annoying music on start up. So refreshing. Great review as always. I'm a few days into mine and so far so good.
-
Best review of the product so far. Just love the way Tarun takes step by step details and explain it very patiently. Awesome!
