I don't know why you said the R26 is not suitable for the bad records. I listen all type of music, and the R26 sound very well. If you want a little hint of Heat choose a Pontus II

I will try it... I use Foobar on Pc

That why I said it. I use a drive, so wihout dac, on my R26... 16/44 out from the drive, 16/44 in the R26 so bit perfect So yes, we could oversample with the cpu, but finally, it's not bit perferct, even if the dac drive the oversample perfectly!

I don't know why you use the oversample? it distorts the result When you use a CD player, there is no oversample...

My next dac after the R26 :beyersmile:

My Pontus and R26 are always on. I do it since I bought a Audio GD R2R

Yesterday I have done a test and no problem. No noise. Whether in I2S (cd player) or coax (network player) it's ok

Yours issues are on 220v or 110v ?

I have received mine yesterday. First listening, it's pretty cool. Now it's on burning mode... It will be on all the time... Like R2R dac...

That's what I thought thank you. In fact I will keep the Pontus II for listening to headphones and therefore by usb. The gustard will be for hi-fi... Maybe I should take the U18 for the Pontus II...

Up

I use a CD player Nuprime CDT8 pro

If not, should I buy a DDC or a reclock?

On this case, I will wait for the R27pro 😁

If it's good today, it's good tomorrow. Like the Pontus II... If you want better, go to buy an Aquarius or Terminator... 🙄

I think you have a big problem... The Pontus II is better than the rme and le R26 is the same quality than the Pontus II 🤔

I'm waiting for my R26 but I quickly read that the best connection is the Lan, except that my CD player doesn't have one... Do I also need a U18 or C18 for my CD player or networks?

I also have the Master 9 which seems to me about the same power level. It's only at the sound level where it's different, the Audio GD is warmer, softer. More powerful ? With what amp ? The Taurus drive the HE6se very well...

I own the Taurus mkii and I wonder if the sound is better on single End than the balanced. Someone does that test ?

What is the problem with Denafrips ? I own the Pontus II and I have no problems !

so the U18 is only useful if you listen to music by computer (via usb)

Would I need a DDC if I use dac only through Coax or ABU?

Hello there, I am very interested in this dac but only for HIFI use, so coaxial cabling and maybe a network. I already have a Pontus II that I recently tried with my speakers against my M400 and found it to be much better. I keep the Pontus for my headphone system.

VS FH9?

I've got a black DX240, so my DX320 will be blue 😁
