A very welcome.

Despite its design, the R28 is a great Dac/amp.
Wouldn't exchange it with something else in/for my listening habits.

The only thing i do is to add the Mojo/BTR5 for a different sound presentation sometimes.

The 2.5 to 2x Xlr cable for BTR5 -> R28 has arrived today for another comparison.

Thank you...

I actually love it's design. Very simple, but solid and well-built- classic look that won't age IMO. I'm even getting used to the settings workflow and leave the VFD in sleep mode.

Agree with.
The only thing that bothers me by a bit is the rigorous split design for the ins and outs on the backplate. ^^
Ordinary RCA-cables doesn't fit to it.

But it sounds so clean with my Elacs, it's simply amazing. (and my headphones too )

Have fun listen to it.

yeah I can see that. I just use USB, so no issue yet with other cables.

Hello mates, excuse me if this is not appropriate. Does anyone think about selling this dac amp ?

I know of Magnahifi (Netherland) and Audiofonics (France).
Oh, and Kingwa, obviously.

You're in the US. I got mine from Underwood Hifi. Excellent experience.

I'm pretty sure nghenac means if a member is willing to sell his/her unit to him not how or where to buy a new one

Sure, it is a new appointed US dealer.

Fwiw Underwood has been around for ~20 years. I purchased a few products from him when I was more heavily into two channel systems. Good experience everytime

Good to hear, as Audio GD needs a reliable and knowleable partner on the US soil.

Thanks Telin, yes that is exactly what I wanted. Appreciate your clarification. I stop buying new units, I get bored really fast so I decide to buy used lol.

I know.
My response was more like: noone is going to sell this unit until it dies.

I've considered selling mine, to put that money toward upgrading my main system to R-7HE + HE-9, etc., but I think I'll be keeping mine to use in the bedroom. 28 months later, and I'm still completely satisified with my R-28.

I'm new to r2r, so far only have modest experience with delta s in 11.38 which I'm introduced to AGD.

Hv been considering 2021 R28 for sometime, or Di-20 with Metrum Jade via i2s. Any advise on sound quality/perf betw Jade to R28 (on NOS settings) ?

Also curious if Di-20 w R2r11 (reading much praises thru mod i2s hdmi) be equal to 2021 R28 direct USB from each unit's headphone jack?

Thank you
