    DENAFRIPS Terminator: the King of R2R dac

    Hi All, Have TERMINATOR with DSP Board and DUAL AES/EBU is mentioned as a new feature. Anyone tried it with the dCS Network Bridge which also supports Dual AES/EBU??? Thanks

    Audio GD Master-11(Combination from Master 7 and Master 9)

      I bought the medium gain version and the higher gain has NO bad effect on the more super sensitive Headphone like the 32 Ohm 96dB BeyerDynamic DT 770 which are designed to be driven with a cell phone even. I would bet I could use the DT 770 even with the highest gain modification. Just don't...

      Thanks! This is doable then One other thought. As the F-1 board depends on a source USB for Power rather than the Amanero board which King Wa currently powers from one of his carefully designed power supplies inside the A-GD, it would seem that using a REGEN with a great linear PS...

      Looks like you used only five wires, and on pins 3,5,7,9, and 11? And they are marked with labels on the Audio-GD board as well? Thanks

      Stupid question, i suppose, but how did you know what wire goes where? I have 'skills', former bench tech with electronics knowledge but the information from Chinese web sites like Audio-GD is really sketchy, gear does not even come with an operating manual so getting the wiring right is my...

      Is that an easy fix? I understand the F-1 board does not have a I2S connector. is it wire for wire replaceable?

    HI Anyone know if this will work on the Master 11 HDMI port? Are we GUSTARD or PSAudio? Or neither? http://www.shenzhenaudio.com/headphone-amplifier/2016-singxer-su-1-usb-digital-interface-with-xmos-xu208-cpld-dsd256-dop.html

    Agree, using the SUPRA power cable on my master 7 in the main system.  Will likely do the same for the Master 11 that sits next to my 'easy' chair and is used for headphone streaming over the internet.

      You purchased a product direct from the manufacturer in Mainland China and at a substantial discount to that of similar products produced locally and/or those sold by brick and mortar stores. And, to tell the truth, I've heard of worse experiences being inflicted upon those who purchased...

    Can you order a HDMI I2S board for the Master 11 and install it yourself? If so can you order it so that the wiring matches the Gustard U12? TIA

      "Will offer the upgrade for all Audio-gd product users who own the DSP + PCM1704 product in near future!" Wonder what that really means. Have BOTH the Master 11 for about four months for personal headphone use and just took delivery of a new Master 7 a few weeks ago for the main listening...

    Audio GD Master-11(Combination from Master 7 and Master 9)

      Sadly not speaking of I2S (my Master 11 is RJ45) and even then it's depending on the converter (USB>I2S) but yes, I have the HDMI input on my Master 7. That said, I have some options for S/PDIF input/output, RCA, BNC or TOSLINK from a Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker. Ordering a BNC S/PDIF...

    Audio GD Master-11(Combination from Master 7 and Master 9)

    Quick question. Does anyone know the BEST sounding (all other things being equal) input on the Audio GD master 11, RCA S/PDIF, TOSLINK, BNC etc? Also, as BNC is S/PDIF just like RCA S/PDIF inputs and perhaps closer to the 75 ohm specification, why is it rated at 96K while the RCA S/PDIF input...

    Is the Audio-GD Master 11 the ultimate DAC/Headphone setup? Perhaps not, says Ivan! Even better? Audio-GD Master 7 DAC feeding the Audio-GD Master 11 Headphone Amp! Yep, the DAC setup (8 PCM1704U-K vs. 4 PCM1704U-K) in the Master 7 seems to be even better that the one in the Master 11, at...
