Looking to go balanced when the Senn’s get here. How do you think the R2R 11 would be as a DAC paired with an NFB-1? Anyone use this pairing by chance?

I want a pair of the Fostexs..are yours customed? Seen a few different models on Amazon but don't know what is what between them.Day 3 of run-in with the R2R 11 and it is fantastic! Very vivid presentation and the DAC/Amp sounds great with my Fostex’s. It’s a keeper for sure. Glad to see positive results from Senn HD-6XX pairing - I got a pair coming from Massdrop soon.
Looks like he has the Purple Heart TH-X00 from Massdrop. Missed out on an awesome priced used one this morning -_-I want a pair of the Fostexs..are yours customed? Seen a few different models on Amazon but don't know what is what between them.

Just stock - they are amazing! I want to get another pair to have as a backup and possibly to mod...we’ll see.

It seems that people only have an interest in R2R 11 now? I think the pops are so hypnotizing that they took away the holofortes from NFB 11.28.

Don’t hear any “popping” with mine.
Do you own R2R 11 personally or owned it in the past? did you hear pop sound personally ? since many R2R 11 owners have already commented on this subject, I am not worried about it and happy to take the risk (and placed the order as well). After reading whole thread I feel you are hypnotized with POP soundIt seems that people only have an interest in R2R 11 now?

@Nadham if you live in europe you don't have to order directly from china as audio-gd has a reseller in france. Then you don't have problems with customs and extra fees!
There is also a reseller in the Netherlands
Agree and I am aware of resellers in Europe, infact Kingwa pointed me in that direction as an alternative option but I went ahead with ordering from directly from Audio GD. I should be getting it by next week. At best I may save few quids, at worst by paying high customs - I will be paying cost equivalent to buying from EU resellers, so I think it is Ok risk. Let's see ...thanks for the info though ..@Nadham if you live in europe you don't have to order directly from china as audio-gd has a reseller in france.

Just picked up the R2R 11 and been critically listening for a couple hours now after a 24 hour run-in. I realize I the unit may require more burn-in but I have to say I am very impressed so far.
The build quality seems very nice - the volume knob turns with a very nice smoothness and the amp seems solid overall. This is my first listen to a ladder DAC and it definitely has a different sonic flavor that a DS DAC.
I could see how people on the “clinical” side of the fence wouldn’t like it. I doubt I have ever heard mid-range this holographic before. Notes seem to come out of no where, everywhere…a startling feeling till you get adjusted to it. Bass is very deep but somewhat less hard-edged, not soft, just more, well, natural sounding.
Utilizing a cheap USB cable straight from a MacPro via Audirvana Plus to my TH-X00 Purple Hearts and the sound is really quite amazing. Very positive impression so far.
Congrats! I felt the same way when pair with my TH-X00 Ebony's. The only difference is that no had the R2R 11 powered by my MJ2 that I have since retired. I find the amp section pretty decent by not as good as the dac. I plan on buying another higher powered amp to pair with the R2R 11 as a stand alone dac.
It worked plug and play with my Note 8i´ve received the otg cable. when i have time i´ll try with android
