    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    Hi, guys! An R2R 2 owner in the thread. I remember writing something about my DAC not working with the PS4 Pro. My bad. It is working. The reason it didn't was a poor cable connection (it was my first experience with an optical cable). By the way, if I wanted to get the so-called firmware...

    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    Well, I checked everything including the audio output options menu, trying to connect the two items, and the settings were right (optical output). I should give it another try, I guess. Maybe I missed something the first time.

    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    Good to know they fixed this issue in R2R 1. My R2R 2 still doesn't want to notice the PS4 Pro. Or maybe the problem's in me :confused: Or maybe the optical cable's to blame... Anyway, this is just a minor setback as the DAC works just fine with my PC.

    Agreed. But I contacted Audio-GD and they said, quote: "We have test our DAC with some TV, PS box can not working but can working with disc player."

    As an owner of the R2R 2 I have to warn you: my DAC turned out not to be compatible with my PS4 Pro.

    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    Well, I've been living with the R2R 2 for almost two months now and maybe now is the time to share my impression of it. This isn't a full review as I don't have any other gear to compare it with, just the headphone out of my nettop, MSI Cubi. So, the changes I noticed are: 1. Timbre quality...

    USB-DAC under $800

    Hey, guys, thanks for all the replies! In fact, I do want to find a solution with maximum "bang for the buck" quality. Just not sure what price range it lies within... Nevertheless, I would like to find such a DAC that would last for years to come and wouldn't be the weak link in case of the...

    USB-DAC under $800

    Thanks again. Unfortunately, Schiit retail prices in Russia are $862 for Bifrost Multibit and $1306 for Gungir... The company clearly doesn't want us to buy its products here.

    USB-DAC under $800

    Thanks a lot! Yep, I'm definitely keeping the AD700. The thing is most of the time I listen to my kinda semi-custom made 3-way speakers which are quite good, but don't offer lots of High Frequency detail as I chose different tweeters... Though overall sound quality is fine, moreover, the...

    USB-DAC under $800

    Hi, everyone! I've been looking for a decent USB-DAC that could be enough for an average music lover like me. You could hardly call me an audiophile because my experience with Hi-Fi hasn't been anything but brief and ordinary: - my parents' entry-level vinyl system (which did give me lots of...

    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    monsterzero, Currawong, thank you very much! Guess that answers all my questions. But in case someone else would like to share their impressions of using R2R 11 and R2R 2, please do.

    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    Thanks for your reply! So a dedicated DAC must sound better than a DAC\amp in any case, is that right? Could you elaborate on that just a little? I'm not much of a tech guy... Now, I'm leaning towards the R2R 2 anyway, but still wanna know how it sounds compared to R2R 11. So if there's someone...

    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    Hi, guys! I'm seriously considering buying R2R 11 or R2R 2. Maybe there's someone who's had the opportunity to compare these two items? The thing that bothers me the most is the price difference. Is the R2R 2 really worth paying double the money you'd pay for the R2R 11? Does it really give you...
