With sophisticated R-2R DAC technology and an exclusive, customised power supply, the Denafrips ARES15th is a compact DAC with a high-end sound.

Top quality desktop DAC
Compact enough for a high-end desktop system, yet powerful enough to meet the highest standards, the Denafrips ARES15th sets a high bar. Equipped with USB, coaxial and optical inputs, you can connect to a wide range of devices, including a desktop or laptop computer, CD player, network streamer and more. The choice of balanced XLR and standard RCA phono outputs ensures that it works with many systems.

Low Phase Noise Oscillator
Equipped with a low-phase-noise oscillator, the ARES15th ensures exceptional signal stability and an ultra-high signal-to-noise ratio. This innovation not only enhances the clarity and detail of the sound but also effectively reduces noise and distortion within the system, letting you hear every detail in perfect clarity.

Custom power supply for unconstrained sound
The ARES15th features an upgraded, Denafrips customised, Linear Power Supply section. Denafrips meticulously hand-winds the oversized O-Core transformer in-house, incorporating multiple layers of copper shielding between the windings. This design choice effectively reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic fields (EMF).

R-2R DAC
Utilising R-2R technology, the ARES15th features a ladder-like configuration of resistors in the output. Although this is a costly and complex engineering solution, the benefit is improved precision and vanishingly low levels of interference.

Premium quality finish
Available in black or silver, the ARES15th uses an all-metal casing for electrical shielding and a premium quality feel. Cone feet help isolate the DAC, further improving the sound.
