Description

The first Denafrips Terminator DAC (around 2019) featured a proprietary R2R + DSD architecture, using true balanced 26-bit R-2R for PCM and 6-bit DSD, supported by high-precision resistors, ultra-low noise power, femto clocks (CCHD-957), FIFO buffer reclocking, DSP for upsampling (PCM 384kHz/DSD256), and versatile inputs (USB, I²S, Coax, AES/EBU) for high-res audio up to DSD256/PCM1536 (USB/I²S). Key specs included a neutral sound, excellent dynamics, robust build, and high-quality components, positioning it as a top-tier R2R DAC. 

Core Technology & Architecture 
* Architecture: True balanced 26-bit R-2R + 6-bit DSD.
* Resistors: 500+ high-precision (0.005%, 10ppm) thin-film resistors per channel, with dual FPGA processing.
* Power Supply: Encapsulated, ultra-low noise linear power supply with large toroidal transformers (250VA/60VA) and WIMA/Ultra-Low ESR capacitors.
* Clocking: Flagship CCHD-957 Femto Clocks, OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators) for low jitter.
* Jitter Control: Adaptive FIFO Buffer Reclocking. 

Performance & Features 
* Sampling Rates: PCM up to 24bit/192kHz (S/PDIF), DSD64-DoP (S/PDIF); up to 24bit/1536kHz PCM & DSD1024 (USB/I²S).
* Upsampling: DSP-controlled upsampling to 384kHz/DSD256.
* Inputs: USB, I²S (x3 - HDMI, RJ45), Coax (x2), BNC, AES/EBU (x2), Optical.
* Outputs: Single-ended RCA (2.3Vrms), Balanced XLR (4.6Vrms).
* Sound: Neutral, balanced, detailed, with deep soundstage and lively dynamics. 

Build & Other Specs 
* Weight: Heavy (around 19kg/42lbs) due to substantial metal alloy chassis.
* USB Interface: Amanero Combo384, Thesycon drivers for Windows. 

This was our demo unit and has some wear/tear marks ( see photos ). It is the original Terminator but has a 2nd generation Amanero USB board fitted. Supplied by Denafrips.
