The Digital To Analog Decoder for attentive Audiophiles

To commemorate DENAFRIPS’s 12 years of digital audio excellence, the VENUS II 12th Anniversary Edition features several performance enhancements at components level that might not be visible by the naked eyes but certainly audible for the seasoned and trained audiophiles’ ears.

The original VENUS II DAC was awarded the ‘Best Digital Component of 2022‘ by A British Audiophile. The 12th Annv. Ed enhancements took it to another level.

SOPHISTICATED DESIGN

Denafrips Venus II 12th DAC -Audio Headphone Store 4b933e 2034596fd2074ae2ab43949e39fad1f3~mv2

FPGA DSP Module
– FIFO & Reclocking
Galvanic Isolatation
– Optocoupler

Tuned Capacitor Bank
– Electrolytic + Film Caps [EVOX/WIMA]

R-2R Ladder Network
– True Balanced R-2R
– Hand-picked tight tolerance resistors

Silver DC Cable
– Twisted silver cable for power delivery from PSU to DAC Module

The VENUS II 12th is a true balanced, dual mono R-2R Ladder Network Arrays DAC. Each channel is equipped with independent high-speed FPGA to facilitate the digital signal decoding by means of 4 sets of 0.005% R-2R network. The choice of such design yield very small linearity error, high decoding speed, low digital noise, not only to ensure that the audio signal is of very low distortion, but also to ensure a very low background music noise; allow listener to enjoy the true music with quiet, black background.

All digital input are FIFO buffered and reclocked by the on board TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator). The excellent rejection of word-clock jitter makes DENAFRIPS DAC less reliance to the source equipment clock quality. VENUS II 12th can transform your consumer grade computer, CDPlayer to high-end sound quality.

Enhanced PSU & Transformer

Redesigned Power Supply Module with Dual O-Core Transformers 80VA x 2

High-biased constant current delivery to the Digital and Analog circuitry via Silver Cable

Divide & Conquer

Encased PSU Box is shielded underneath of the DAC Motherboard with additional MU-Metal divider in between to enhance the electrical-interference rejection

Clean power equates to the foundation of good sound. A dedicated linear power supply unit, designed and encased in a 1.5mm thick metal alloy enclosure, can be found underneath the DAC motherboard, along with a MU-Metal divider in between.

The box-within-box design, not only does it eliminates the inherited problems of dual box solution, it presents the details and attentions DENAFRIPS put into the premium DAC design.

Beefy dual O-Core Transformers 80VA x 2 for Digital and Analog sections, Ultra-Low ESR, Long Endurance Reservoir Capacitors, and multi-stages super linear power supply, ensuring ultra precision, low ripple power supply charging up DAC.

HIGH-END DAC

The VENUS II 12th is ideal DAC for attentive, critical-listening Audiophiles and Music Lover who value micro and macro details, great soundstage width and depth, imaging, and slight warm for musicality. VENUS II 12th a High-End DAC – probably one of the most critical components for High-Fidelity systems.
