DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR PLUS 15TH R-2R DAC
Frequently Bought Together
Product Overview & Specifications
The Denafrips Terminator-Plus 15th Anniversary Edition is a flagship digital-to-analogue converter built around a true balanced 26-bit R-2R ladder network and 6-bit DSD architecture. Celebrating 15 years of digital design from Denafrips, the Terminator-Plus 15th incorporates hand-matched 0.005% precision thin-film resistor arrays alongside an encapsulated "box-within-a-box" power supply section. Isolated by a internal steel divider plate, its multi-transformer linear power supply utilises gold, silver, and copper alloy AC toroidal transformers, terminated with custom rhodium-plated AC power inlets for low contact resistance and stable current delivery.
Timing and jitter control are managed via dual Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXO) operating at 45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz, combined with an adaptive FIFO buffering and reclocking system. For system integration, the DAC features high-precision BNC clock output terminals to send master clock signals to external digital transports or reclockers. Processing PCM up to 1536kHz and native DSD up to DSD1024 over USB and I²S interfaces, the unit is housed in a heavy 1.5mm anti-resonant metal chassis.
KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
