2.6 PROPRIETARY R-2R AND DSD DECODING ARCHITECTURE
The Pontus is equipped with 24Bit R-2R DAC to decode PCM data stream and 32 steps FIR
analog filters hardware decoder to decode DSD data stream. These designs guaranteed the
PCM format can be perfectly decoded, at the same time, the DSD format can be perfectly
decoded as well. It is rare in the currently market that a R-2R DAC can hardware decode
both PCM and DSD formats.
2.7 DAC ARCHITECTURE
This is the simplified architecture diagram. All digital input data are fed and buffered
through the internal DSP board FIFO high speed RAM buffer except for Amanero USB
module. The Amanero module comes with its own on-board FIFO.
These data stored in the internal high speed FIFO and the Amanero FIFO buffer, are
retrieved via the local cystals (CCHD-957 FEMTO on Venus & Terminator), processed, and
reconstructed, for the final stage Discrete R2R for DA conversion.
The reliance of digital input source clock quality is less critical. This made DENAFRIPS DAC
sounds good with literally any source.
As in all audiophile high standard, a good source quality does make a different to the sound
quality. But we’d like to stress that, don't lose sleep over the technical aspect of the DAC.
Just sit back, and... enjoy the music!
