    I recently had the chance to hear a Denafrips Pontus II (not 12th anniversary) and while pleasant, I felt it literally slowed the music down by like 10%. Very interesting. Not sure if it's my jam. BUT it did cause me to look at the Denafrips website, which got me thinking about their Iris DDC. Apparently it's not snake oil and is "inexpensive" enough at $550 to consider playing around with. Has anyone run one of these via AES to a Yggdrasil? Any thoughts or impressions vs. Unison USB?
