Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread
I am experiencing an issue with R1 dac and matrix spdif 2 converter. When connected with i2s (hdmi) I only get sound when dac is in NOS, while if I switch to OS I get nothing (silence).
Tried both smooth and accurate V3 firmware but same result.
When using instead amanero usb it works correctly.
Anybody here using matrix 2 with an audio gd r2r dac who can share his experience?

I also have a matrix spdif 2 and it works “fine” but I cannot make it work at 384khz for some reason (with the R2R-1). At 192khz everything works fine. My feeling is that the issue is with the matrix spdif 2 because it also has problems pairing with a Geshelli Labs DAC via optical at high sample rates. BTW I’m using the I2S connection with the R2R-1.
I have no issues at 384Khz, neither with native dsd in NOS mode
Are you using NOS or OS on your R2R1 ?

I didn't think about it being different in NOS, but you are right it works in NOS but not in OS. Have you tried changing the PLL setting?
Yes, have tried all possible parameters on the dac.. no change
Hello friends! Yesterday I updated the firmware to V3A (is the accurate version)
I had to disassemble the case floor and reconnect the front new board with a screen and buttons. There is a new cable, which now works with the board and instead of jumpers. Please look at the photo! Did I connect it correctly?

Cabling looks correct to me (I have done the same upgrade myself on my R2R1)
With firmware V3 you should now get NOS-OS mode and filter switching working from the front panel.

I'm pretty much set on ordering the Audio-gd R-1. I was told that it has extremely smooth treble and mid range, good bass retrieval, and sound stage and imaging. Sounds like exactly the signature I like.
This DAC looks like a "good deal" sort of DAC. Bear bones, DAC only (which is all I need), so they can focus all their attention on making the DAC good. Too many DACs have an AMP tacked on, and too many AMPs have a DAC tacked on. No, I just want a dedicated DAC, and a dedicated AMP, and I want them to do exactly that, not do a bunch of wacky bells and whistle hoo hah mumbo jumbo.

Still very happy with my R2R-1. The added functionality on the R-1 of being able to change the sound modes with the front panel is a great addition and the only thing really missing from mine. Highly recommend it as a DAC.
Received my R2R 11 about a week ago. It's my first Audio gd dac. It's quite amazing at its price point for sure. I'm actually enjoying music more than I have in a long time. Then a few days ago I bought a used DAC 19 on a whim from a fellow head-fier. I will be receiving it today. But I'm wondering if the DAC 19 will be any better at all? I guess I'll soon find out.

Your R2R 11 must be of the latest version which has modifications to minimize the background noise with some DSD recordings.
Have you ever tried to play DSD 128 and DSD 256 files?
Do they have any background noise in the very soft parts of the songs (you have to use headphones and set the volume very loud to notice)?
You can find free DSD files in the Native DSD website:
