Maybe i will try to send my DAC in for a full upgrade. I don't have the courage to do it. I would like to get the output stage upgrade as well.
A-ha! This looks promising. I have a Ref 7.1 myself. What would be needed if I were to upgrade my Ref 7.1 to the Singularity system - in addition to the parts needed when going from Master 7?Hi.
I just couldn't resist to go for the singularity upgrade.
Got the board yesterday and also jumped in to solder-sphere...and later last night I have my "old" Ref 7.1->7.32-> Master 7-> Nos 7 converted/upgraded to a Singularity 7. ...Well not 100% complete because the analog-boards are still untoched and the new Singularity from Audio-gd also has upgraded these with a new output buffers. Well everthing is fine and the work wasn't that hard. It is only to be systematic, careful and don't rush.
I still have it in 8 times oversampling (default). I will of course test out it all but now it's burn in time for a approx. a month and I will check it out referred to a NFB-28.38 I use as preamp right now.
I will report during the process

Kingwa is a busy man. Introducing the R2R 7 DAC which appears to be the M7 size chassis/power with Singularity type DSP and R2R ladder discreet resistor DAC modules. Will someone buy this and compare? My DAC buying days are done for a long while LOL. Supports PCM / DXD / DSD Native

You know you want to try it yourself and I don’t think many have the M7-Singularity to compare to anyhow.

First the new NFB 7.77 and now the R2R 7 ... Try it, buy it
My HE-7 Singularity just arrived and it is really an improvement over my Master 7 (with updated firmware). More impressions later but it is a great sound form the beginning. Literally everything improved: From bass to highs, more 3D and natural soundstage, more details, nice and smooth sound at the same time (I probably finally understood what is meant by "more analog"). More pleasure.

You guys are funny but my equipment buying days are over for a LONG time. I got laid off in March right after getting the Singularity 7. I looked for a job for a week and said to hell with it I am retiring. Best feeling ever!
So currently selling musical stuff on Craigslist and soon will start shedding more audio items. I got mountains of stuff to sell. Sold my Schiit Yggy a couple of days ago. Now lets see... Articnoise how about a fully loaded MSB Analog DAC? Any takers for an Audio Research Ref 75 SE amp? Come on, make me an offer! I am downsizing so I can sell my house, take the windfall profit, and move on to a cheaper place to live. I have way too much stuff for a smaller place.
I have an Audio GD Ref 5.2 DAC with upgraded DSP firmware and Amanero USB module. Wish it sounded this good 5 years ago. That will go soon. And after upgrading the Master 7 with Singularity DSP board I will compare and only keep one to take to audio heaven.
So, I am passing the torch to someone else!!!!!
