Denafrips Pontus II DAC Review

[Benjamin_Pitot]

I see so if I am hearing you correctly Peter, if I connect the Pontus II via USB to Roon USB port, not only will I see the Pontus device in Roon but I’ll also be able to access higher Roon 24 bit files as @Bjorn_Liden asked previously.

So the signal path is:
Tidal > Roon > LUMIN T2 > Pontus 2 DAC > amp
Am I getting this right?

Yes

There should not be a difference.

Lumin will send 32 or 24 bit to Linux compatible USB DAC if you’re playing Hi-Res, or is using Lumin (Leedh Processing) digital volume. If the connection is made via BNC, it will be 24 bit.

If the connection is made via BNC, it will be 24 bit.

Noted thanks Peter!
