Denafrips

The ARES15th redefines the DAC standard with its remarkable performance enhancement
The ARES15th utilises cutting-edge audio technology and precision craftsmanship to achieve a level of audio quality that far surpasses its peers. Whether it's the deep, powerful bass, the smooth and detailed mids, or the clear and transparent highs, every audio detail is perfectly reproduced, delivering an unforgettable listening experience.

The Ares 15th 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 15th further elevates the already impressive build quality of the Ares 15th.

In its compact 2.4 to 2.5-liter size, the ARES15th features a comprehensive range of connectivity options, including USB, optical, and coaxial inputs and outputs. Regardless of your audio equipment needs, the ARES15th connects effortlessly, accommodating various usage scenarios.

Adopt a Low Phase Noise Oscillator


Equipped with a low-phase-noise oscillator, the ARES15th ensures exceptional signal stability and an ultra-high signal-to-noise ratio. This innovation not only enhances the clarity and detail of the sound but also effectively reduces noise and distortion within the system, providing robust support for the audio experience.

The Ares 15th features an upgraded Linear Power Supply section, incorporating a capacitors bank branded with 'DENAFRIPS', OEM in accordance to DENAFRIPS specification for audio. On top of the constant current LDO Linear Regulators, a large heatsink is securely attached. To power the FPGA, modular USB module, and balanced R-2R Ladder Networks, eight multi-stage LDO Linear Regulators are employed.

 

DENAFRIPS meticulously hand-winds the oversized O-Core transformer in-house, incorporating multiple layers of copper shielding between the windings. This design choice effectively reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic fields (EMF).
