DENAFRIPS - Enyo 15th

DENAFRIPS CELEBRATES 15 YEARS OF AUDIO EXCELLENCE WITH THE RELEASE OF THE ENYO 15TH R-2R DAC

Founded in 2012 and based in Guangzhou, DENAFRIPS specialises in crafting premium audio equipment with the belief that high-quality audio gear can be accessible. Their commitment to audio excellence has garnered a loyal following, especially for their renowned line of R-2R DACs. Their product lineup includes DACs, DDCs, pre-amplifiers, power amplifiers, and headphone amplifiers, all of which have made a significant impact in the high-end audio industry. In celebration of 15 years of digital audio excellence, DENAFRIPS introduces the Enyo 15th R-2R, which features component-level performance enhancements that will appeal to seasoned audiophiles. The original Enyo DAC redefined expectations for R-2R Ladder DACs, and the Enyo 15th R-2R takes its exceptional sound quality to even greater heights.

PROPRIETARY BALANCED 24BIT R2R & UPDATED INTERNALS FOR PURE ANALOGUE SOUND

Supporting resolutions up to 24-bit/1536kHz and native DSD1024 and PCM1536, the Enyo 15th R-2R is a high-performance digital-to-analog converter featuring R-2R DAC technology and discrete resistors. Its advanced R-2R architecture ensures superior sound quality, offering options for NOS/OS and Slow/Sharp filters. Multiple tests confirm that Enyo's traditional R-2R DAC delivers a level of musical richness and transparency that surpasses many mainstream DAC chips.

FEATURING ULTRA-PRECISION RESISTORS AND FPGA DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

Achieving superior sound quality in an R-2R DAC requires the use of ultra-precise resistors, which are costly due to their stringent measurement and matching process. Each resistor is meticulously measured by machines and cross-checked by human intervention, contributing to the high manufacturing costs and positioning R-2R DACs as premium products. The Denafrips Enyo 15th R-2R exemplifies this high standard with its network of precisely matched resistors. Digital Signal Processing is handled by an FPGA, and the DAC is equipped with 2 coaxial inputs, 2 TOSLink inputs, and a USB input, alongside RCA and 3-pin XLR outputs, ensuring a versatile and high-performance audio experience.

FULLY SYMMETRICAL DESIGN OFFERING NOISE-FREE AND DISTORTION-FREE SOUND

The Denafrips Enyo 15th R-2R utilises a fully symmetrical R2R design, with each channel decoded by four sets of R2R networks. This configuration ensures minimal linear error, high decoding speed, and low digital noise, resulting in exceptionally low audio distortion and background noise. The DAC also offers the flexibility of NOS or OS modes and Slow or Sharp filters, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in their music.

EXPERTLY DESIGNED TO BE SCALABLE WITH CAREFULLY IMPLEMENTED INPUTS & OUTPUTS

The DENAFRIPS Enyo 15th R-2R now features an anodised aluminium chassis available in silver and black, catering to those who prefer a more compact DAC with a sleek finish. Building on the success of its predecessor, the Enyo 15th R-2R enhances the already impressive build quality. This new version includes an I²S input and redesigned front and back panels. The I²S connection ensures compatibility with the DENAFRIPS DDC (Digital To Digital Converter) and other I²S transport options. The front panel has input selection buttons for USB, COAX, OPT, I²S, OS/NOS, Phase, and Mute. The upgraded rear panel offers XLR and RCA analogue outputs and Coax, Optical, I²S, TOSLINK, AES, and USB inputs, providing greater flexibility for the Enyo 15th R-2R.
