Introducing the TOPPING Centaurus R2R DAC - Now Available on Apos Audio

[Apos Audio]

Hi all,

We are thrilled to announce that TOPPING has just released their first R2R DAC, the Centaurus. We are big R2R fans and we've been waiting for years to see what TOPPING does with this architecture. At $999, the Centaurus is a far cry from other recent budget-friendly options, but as Uncle Ben said, with great price tag comes great feature set: fully-balanced 8-channel R2R architecture, Bluetooth 5.1, 10-band PEQ, IIS, CPLD-optimized clock, a full-color display, and more.

Product highlights 

• Fully-balanced 8-channel R2R architecture
• Three sampling modes: NOS, OS, Best
• Aurora UI with customizable features
• 10-band high-precision PEQ adjustment
• Bluetooth 5.1 with LDAC and aptX support
• Wide compatibility across platforms
• THD+N < 0.0005%, SNR 130dB
• IIS input for ultra-high-spec signals
• RCA and XLR outputs with adjustable voltage levels
• Preamp mode for active speaker connections
• 12V Trigger for synchronized power control

Bought the SMSL RawPro-DAC1 to pair with my Flux Labs Acoustics M-Field balanced stack. Now I am curious how Centaurus compares to the SMSL

Send one to Audiosciencereview as I'm sure performance will be really good. Using an A70Pro/E70Pro Octo stack and I think they're on a roll with recent products.
