Hello, I have been a regular visitor to the forum for several years, and I can always say that I have gained knowledge and audio news from here. But this time I would like to share a discovery with you. We are talking about the Chinese R2R dac, or more precisely, a DIY board that allows you to build a fantastic device. For a Chinese product, I must admit that it is a bit expensive, but the quality of workmanship and components is at a very high level. According to the data, it is a 64-bit R2R design, with very precise resistors, and these are controlled by transistors! so each resistor has its own transistor, and this is a very different system from standard designs of this type. The board contains several low-noise, top-class stabilizers and tantalum capacitors. The design is fully thought out, it allows you to connect an i2s source and an external clock, and the dac can operate in master and slave mode. In my case, it works in slave mode where it receives a very good quality i2s signal along with external clocks.I made sure that the DAC equipment was of the highest quality and had a very good power supply. The dac has two outputs, with a capacitor where there is no DC and without, where we have to use our own recognized capacitor, in my case I used v cap tftf which fits this sound perfectly. I struggled for a long time with thoughts about whether to make an analogue output at the DAC output. I finally found and developed a simple analogue with one op per channel that did not spoil what the r2r ladder gave us, and even slightly improves the dynamics. The construction of the entire device is complicated, so I will get to the point. The sound... very rich, dense, deep and saturated. With good, clear treble and punchy bass. I compared the device with several well-known dacs and I don't know what more you could want. There's just music playing..
Soon the phrase " for Chinese product " won't have any pejorative meaning , opposite actually .
Yes , link would be nice.
I'm not sure why you people buy Made in China Apple products 1000% more expensive they should be 🙂
