But like you have the S7 to enjoy while we wait. And, I was thinking, if the R2R 7 is clearly better we could also upgrade the analog boards in the future as well. I am going to wait on that for reviews and possibly R2R 7 2.0 or next improvements.
Exactly my thoughts. I will wait for a R2R 2.x or HE-R2R version... The HE7S is sooo good anyway, I feel like I am in a sound paradise with my headphones and speakers. I spent many night hours listening to music instead of going to bed It is really that toxic. .... I tend to buy a HE-1 preamp to complement my A-GD DACs. Does anyone have any experience? I still owe the old Phoenix and assume that the HE-1 must be much better.
BTW, regarding the dropouts I mentioned in the R7R thread: The issue is gone. It was not HDMI-related, I faced them via AES too. So I disconnected and reconnected all cables and moved my DAC a bit and everything is OK. No dropouts since then. I probably had a bad connection somewhere.
