WTB: Denafrips Ares 2
03/28/21 at 23:04:57

Hello all,

I've been following all the discussions of DACS on here (and elsewhere). If anyone decides to upgrade to the Pontus from their Ares 2 or just wants to sell their Ares 2, I would be interested. I'm thinking about ordering from Denafrips, but I figured I'd check to see if a used one might be available first. Hope all of you are doing well this Spring,

Scott

I just ordered a new unit from Vinshine Audio a few days ago and it arrived in the USA tomorrow. Hoping to get it later this week. Looks like someone else is going to get lucky... Best, Scott
