    msb discrete vs denafrips terminator plus

    Hi I was wondering if anybody can speak to comparing these two TOTL r2r dacs. I know they are at two totally different price ranges but I was wondering how much more performance you would be getting out of an msb discrete dac vs an already TOTL r2r denafrips dac.

    Need advice on which R2R dac to go with.

    I'm currently looking for an R2R dac to pair with my benchmark AHB2 and hifiman susvaras. Currently I'm looking at the holo spring 2 (Wildism extreme edition), Holo may, and denafrips terminator. I know that its going to be pretty hard to go "wrong" with any of these, but am curious if anyone...

    Has anyone compared the Holo Spring 2 Level 1 vs KTE / Wildism L3?

    I am currently looking at getting a Holo Spring 2 DAC, and am wanting to know if spending the additional cost to upgrade to the KTE / Wildism L3 version is worth it over the standard L1. Has anyone had the opportunity to compare any of the different levels of this dac? If so, what were your...

    R2R DAC Options

    I'd like to try an R2R DAC. Why? Reading the many threads and commentary has made me think I would enjoy one. I'd be getting it in the UK so references are from that perspective. My ideal price point is <= £2000 (~$2500). After forum scrounging, it looks like the main options in the space are...

    Hifiman R2R2000 Red vs Cayin N6II vs Sony WM1A

    I am looking for an upgrade to my HM601 R2R DAP. After reading some hundreds of pages of forums and reviews, these three seem to be the most regarded DAPs in 1500$ region. The R2R2000 Red seems to loose to other 2 in almost every possible way, despite the sound (no EQ, no hardware buttons...

    PecanPi - rPi R2R w/ headphone output

    I'm pretty happy with the rPi portable build and ran into an R2R rPi DAC. I'm not sure if this can be portable because it akwardly extrudes. If a compact case can be created, then maybe. Thoughts on specs? I'm able to control with an IR remote control a la Tera Player so was hoping I can do...

    LP6 Ti 199 -- The Most Expensive and Technical Advanced Portable Player on The Planet?

    About two months ago, I attended an audiophile meeting hosted in LA. The meeting mainly focused on portable audio gears -- IEMs, DAPs, portable amps, and some sealed headphones. I was not a fan of this subject because I had been a full-stack system user for a decade since the debut of HD800 in...

    Massdrop x Airist Audio R-2R DAC: A Discrete Resistor Ladder DAC For $350

    One of the best DACs I have ever heard at any price is the totaldac d1-single-mk2. That totaldac happens to be a discrete R2R (discrete resistor ladder) DAC, and it is easily one of the two best DACs I've tried with the Sennheiser HE-1. The totaldac d1-single-mk2 is priced at €6400 (around...

    Thoughts on a bunch of DACs (and why R2R kind of sucks - just to get you to think about stuff)

    I am 38 years old and a child of the 80s. While I played around with vinyl a little, I grew up on CDs. I want my digital music to sound like digital music - not analog. I like my music to sound "Hi-Fi". I don't think that's a dirty word. I am learning to avoid devices that are described as...

    Anyone sent back their equipment to Audio GD for repair ?

    Hi, i have been reading this really helpful forum since a while now, but this is my first post here :) I am (was) a proud owner of a new Audio GD R2R-2 DAC, bought in February 2018. It has played music flawlessly for 2 months when it decides to stop producing sound, no matter the inputs used...

    Audio-GD R2R15/S15 vs NFB12.1 vs NFB11.32/28

    Looking for an amp that is smooth and warm. It doesn't need high bass, not what I mean by warm. It just needs to be as little fatiguing as possible, while having 0 static noise (Hizz) when nothing is on and at g ood volume. Been looking at these from Audio-GD. The R2R15/S15 uses something...
