2025年3月2日 · I believe my Naim ND 555 server's built in DAC utilizes the 1704 in a ladder configuration. I believe Audio Note utilizes some other ancient chip, perhaps a TDA-1541A. The Audio Note DACs are extraordinarily relaxed, smooth and analogue sounding (notes seem to …

2025年2月10日 · On the other hand, the DS DACs with FPGA filtering, such as Chord and PS Audio, get closer to achieving the above objectives than the R2R DAC's I've come across. They also tend in general to measure better as well. The Chord DACs seem to get the time/domain resolution right, whilst the PS Audio DAC's have amazing depth and resolution of playback.

2024年12月4日 · I just got it and I have to pay a big compliment to Shanling. In such a small space it is really impossible to concentrate a quality R2R dac, a precise and unobtrusive tone control, a gain control, a not bad BT module, a very good balanced connection, a really good headphone amp.

2022年9月15日 · The RS2 houses R2R DAC with 2 OPA1612, a good power delivering amplifier which sufficiently powered most of my IEMs though the RS2 adapts the Darwin architecture, But I am concerned for those who uses headphones as this will not be enough to play power hungry headphones, But I can say ample amount of power is provided I was satisfied using IEMs ...

2020年12月29日 · Advice on a budget R2R DAC Last year I had to change my computer and since my new Imac did not have a firewire output, I had to change my DAC as well. After reading quite a bit on the topic, I decided on a Benchmark DAC 1, thinking that it made sense to replace a studio converter with another device designed for this same application.

2022年2月22日 · Having an R2R DAC (though chip-based) myself, I can only second that I find this type of DAC more musical than my previous Meitner DACs. As for DSD, I didn't really like it while I had my Meitner DAC, but I'm not preaching here. I respect whatever works for someone, although you may find that with an R2R DAC, you won't care much about DSD anymore

2015年8月13日 · I had an RWA isabellina dac with R2R tech and high rez. I think the R2R was more organic or romantic that is warmer sounding which would go well with a solid state amp I think. There was synergy of course with a RWA Sig 16/Cassabria I used it with: a hybrid tube amp. Only parted with it because I needed balanced out too for my WA22.

2024年12月4日 · Featuring our first R2R DAC and powerful headphone amplifier, packed into a compact design and available at just 369 USD! The Shanling EH1 was the start of our new compact desktop line, a simple DAC with headphone amplifier, offering good sound at a reasonable price. But right when we started designing it, we knew we also wanted to bring ...

2022年1月6日 · On my Bricasti M21 DAC, I experimented back and forth between the delta-sigma DAC and the ladder R2R DAC. Two weeks later, I set the Bricasti DAC to the ladder R2R setting and rarely moved it. In the R2R setting, to my ears, everything sounds truly outstanding. The music is clearer, less dark, better bass and sounds more like music.
