Interested to see what's under the hood of the DENAFRIPS Terminator II DAC? Here you go the complete teardown video!
Improvements of the Terminator II over the older Terminator:
Total segregation of Digital Signal Processing and R-2R Network Arrays (Analog) boards
Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillators OCXO replace the TCXO clocks.
High-speed Digital Isolation. The silicon-dioxide (SiO2 ) isolation barrier with isolated power supply effective isolate the ground and block the noise from one end to the other
Redesigned Power Supply Unit (encapsulated underneath the DAC board)
Supercapacitors for Digital & Analogue circuitry for high energy storage to ensure supply of constant cleaned DC power to the circuitry
Clock Out eco-system to sync with DENAFRIPS DDC
Did DENAFRIPS over-engineered the highly sought-after Terminator II/Plus DAC? For you to find out :) Happy reading watching!
