I bought this new a few weeks ago. I'm only selling it as I was recently given the option of buying a high end Esoteric DAC. There's an excellent thread on Audiogon which gives an in depth overview of this DAC, with some comparisons. To my ears it combines the best attributes of both R2R and...

Excellent buyer, very easy to deal with. A+++.

Or children, for that matter….

Latest revision 2.2 Burson Soloist 3XP headphone amp, with the new smooth volume control. The previous owner replaced stock op amps as follows: Input buffer stage: Sonic Imagery Labs 994Enh-Ticha Dual Discrete Volume gain stage: Sparkos Labs SS3602 Dual Discrete These upgraded op amps cost...

Every bit as good as it's reputation suggests, but I'm now going in a different DAC direction, and selling this will free up funds. When taking the photos I noticed something on the front panel which I hadn't seen before. It's a small vertical line above the button on the far left. It doesn't...

Great buyer, smooth transaction.

Extremely good 'phones but I'm going to upgrade to some very good closed backs (probably Stellias or Verite Closed). My wife often does yoga when I'm listening to music through headphones, and apparently hearing Black Sabbath in the background isn't conducive to achieving a Zen-like state. £850...

Bought direct from Nitsch in July, and only selling now as I am going to be buying some power-hungry planars. The link to the webpage is here (https://nitschsound.com/en-gb/products/magni-piety), and I've copied the relevant info below: Schiit Collab Happens While traveling around SoCal...

I bought it earlier this year and sent it to John at JS Audio for his Level 2 mods. The brief summary he sent me is as follows: Level 2: all capacitors, op amps, all transistors, class D regulators, fast rectifiers, valves, cabling, mains filtering. It cost £1200 and the DAC itself was £500...

I bought these directly from Hifiman in December. Since then they have been sitting in a cupboard for most of the time. I used them for a short period of time as I sold my speakers, but the replacement speakers arrived a few weeks ago. These are the wired version, not the Bluetooth. Price...

Bought with a view to spending time listening to music through headphones, but they have been little used. Serial number starts with 7536. Happy to ship to the EU, but the buyer would be liable for import tax. Price excludes shipping. No trades.

Bought this last year with the intention of spending much more time listening to music through headphones. However, it's been in a cupboard for most of the time. I have used it a lot in the past few weeks as I sold my loudspeakers. However my replacement speakers are arriving in the next few...

This is an excellent DAC for the money, but I'm concentrating on my vinyl set up at the moment. The Sound News review pretty much matches my own thoughts on the sound quality: https://soundnews.net/sources/dacs/musician-audio-pegasus-r2r-dac-review/ I'm in the UK, and am happy to ship to the...

Excellent seller, very responsive, and valves were shipped to the UK extremely quickly. A+++

I bought this at a good price to compare with my usual R2R DAC, an Audio GD R7HE . I occasionally like to buy older DACs, to see how they stand up to modern designs. It's genuinely very good, but I prefer the R7 (probably not surprising), and I can't afford to keep both. I have a vintage Denon...

Kingwa owns Audio GD and designs all of their products. I did hear back from him, but he couldn’t suggest anything further than what’s been posted on this thread already.

I had to EQ the RME quite a lot, and spend time with the menus, to get it to approach the R7 level. I didn’t much like the feel of it, as it’s relatively lightweight. And I didn’t use the headphone amp. I agree with sajunky. There are better AGD ESS DAC options than the RME at more competitive...

An addendum to my previous post. At the time Elite offered me an Antipodes server to replace the Innuos, but it was considerably more expensive so not possible for me. However I bought a K22 from them a couple of months ago, and it’s been great. I’ve used it with the DI20 and R7, with no issues...

I have little huge amount of experience with Innuos products, but Pr155a1's experience triggered a memory in my old brain. A couple of years ago I had a loan of a Innuos ZENith MKIII 1TB (from Elite Audio in Scotland). I had hoped that I'd be able to keep it to replace my Windows music...

I had the RME DAC in my system a few months ago, also on a sale or return basis (from Scan). It has a large array of options to tweak, which I was intrigued by, and basically I wanted to know how close it could come to my R7. I used the DI20 with both DACs, using different outputs, and...

Pr155a1 is using Qobuz to stream, but isn’t using Roon.

Yes he’s tried a Windows laptop, as described above.

There are two different discussions on two different topics on this thread, so hopefully this doesn't derail the other one. I checked the Border Patrol website (this is the DAC being used by Pr155a1), and I actually couldn't find any drivers there. As he mentions above, Pr155a1 is going to...

The issue with attempting the Linux DI20 firmware update seems to be that if the update fails then the DI20 will be unusable. So it's very high risk.

I use Qobuz but only 'embedded' within Roon. I've never played it directly to the DDC / DAC without using Roon.
