Denafrips Venus 15th

Denafrips returns with the 15Th version of its Venus balanced R2R DAC, capable of converting signals up to PCM 24bit 1536kHz and DSD1024. This new version not only retains the excellent base of its predecessor, but also incorporates an AT-cut OCXO internal clock, an improved power supply stage and a new circuit architecture, all housed in a new chassis featuring two new IS2 RJ45 inputs. These new additions enhance the sound reproduction to offer an even more musical and richer rendering, devoid of any imperfections or distortion.

Each channel of the Venus 15th is equipped with an independent high-speed FPGA to facilitate decoding of the digital signal using 4 sets of R-2R networks with a tolerance of just 0.005%. The choice of such a design results in very low linearity error, high decoding speed and low digital noise, not only to ensure that the audio signal has extremely low distortion, but also to ensure very low background noise for the most accurate and transparent reproduction possible.

All Venus 15th digital inputs pass through a FIFO buffer and are reclocked by an OCXO AT-cut clock. The exceptional stability offered by the AT-cut crystal is reinforced by the OCXO architecture's temperature control, resulting in a signal with unrivalled stability, very low jitter and enhanced resolution.
