Feb 10, 2025 · 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.

Feb 22, 2022 · 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

Aug 13, 2015 · 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.

Sep 23, 2021 · The Bluemini R2R Bluetooth Dongle is an update of the original Bluemini that enhances detail and overall performance through the HIMALAYA DAC which features an R2R architecture. A chip composed of an array of resistors with a new algorithm reducing power usage between the chip and peripheral components.

Dec 9, 2024 · The TOPPING Centaurus is a groundbreaking high-performance R2R desktop DAC, developed through a collaboration between TOPPING and HOLO AUDIO. It integrates cutting-edge technology and precision engineering to offer exceptional audio performance. Follow us to learn more about Centaurus...

Feb 13, 2016 · How long should I leave my DAC powered on? 30 minutes is enough to warm up the R-2R chips in MHDT DACs. You can leave the DAC powered on 24 hours a day if desired. However, the I/V stage is unique and should be shut down for ~10 minutes every 4-6 hours. Commercial tube life is about 5000-6000 hours, while military tube life is about 8000-10000 ...

Dec 16, 2021 · Discreet R-2R circuitry is a low power DAC circuit when compared to other highly integrated DAC chipsets. This architecture minimises power drain from the mobile source allowing you to enjoy music without the need to worry about battery drain. USB-C connection offers compatibility with a wide range of phones, consumer electronics and computers.

May 2, 2018 · The R2R 7 was the sweeter DAC to listen with, the Pro iDSD, being almost, but not quite Chord-like in accuracy, revealing a very slight touch of what I call wood-like character of the Burr Brown DACs, even with the Gibbs Transient Optimised filter and Tube+ engaged.

Dec 4, 2024 · 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 …

Jun 20, 2023 · The original Goldenwave Serenade didn't have an R2R ladder, and also it seems like it came in three different options: pure dac / dac-amp / dac-amp with dual xlr Share Jun 23, 2023 at 11:56 AM
