Pontus 2 sounds much better than the Orchid. Music has body. Male vocal has chest instead of only has throat. It is fun to listen to. Bass is very strong (almost overblown).
In my system, the Pontus II bass is meaty but not overblown even with a sub.

Benchmark DAC3 = Scientist's Instruments
Denafrips Pontus II = Musicians' instruments
Thanks for the comparison.I think I might like something in between the DAC3 and the Pontus II but that's based on my experience with the entry model Denafrips Aeres II.
BTW that Cary V12 is a very nice sounding amp. What's the black solid-state amp to the left of the Cary? I want to say Plinius but I'm not sure.

Plinius SA-102.
1. A nice lady in an office suit. Clean, elegant, dynamic, extreme, resolving, refined and self-restraint.
2. A beautiful woman in a beach dress. Fun, tasteful, full body, unrestrained with some mistakes.
The Pontus II sounds quite nice. It is definitely easier to listen and easier to follow than Benchmark. Its timbre is also excellent.
I am thinking whether I will miss that office suit if I sell my Benchmark.
