I have ordered Aya 5 DAC which should be delivered early June, if you are interested we can follow up once its here. Though from my experience with Soekris build, R2R DACs SQ is affected a lot by PSU, analog stage design. So what you end up hearing is not just R2R signature but the whole implementation itself.The more gear the merrier.
Great, Ive yet to hear a pair of Stax! I hope someone can bring an R2R DAC since I've been wanting to hear what the hype is about especially via the Broadway/Diana.
I have some expensive JPS Labs cables too that I'd bring to swap out and compare differences if any.

Cool, hopefully meet ups can be a bit more frequent so we can compare new gear we pick up.I have ordered Aya 5 DAC which should be delivered early June, if you are interested we can follow up once its here.

Gotcha. Im still a tad lost on how different DACs can sound and where to go from here. Looking forward to hearing some more!

We all did a small meetup on Saturday for few hours with around 7 guys in Mountain view, tried several gigs and did chit chat. Was pretty laid back and casual. Hope to see more of you hobbyists next time.

Hi guys I’m in East Bay. Would love to share my SR-X Mk3 Pro it is one of the rarest vintage Stax on the market.
Let me know when you are meeting again.
Was given to me by the National Sales Manager of Stax in the mid 80’s.

I saw an Oakland meet announced, but not a meet in Mtn-View.
In the Discord link which needs registration, the venue was revised. Hope to see you in the future!
I'm not allowed to post the link to where I announced the Mountain View meet but they ended up being combined since they were both on the same day when we discussed it on the Discord.
