A great point. Still waiting for a version that uses real oscillators and not some pll synthesized contraption.
Bought early rev1 dam1021. Satisfied. After making some vref mods. Even more satisified.
Sold my expensive Audio Note dac. Never looked back. Great being able to make my own filters and playing with them. Yes they are quite a bit better sounding than stock in my setup 🙂
Thanks soekris for bringing this "technology" to us diyers.

Most of DIYers overhere start tweaking the stock stuff, it's part of the fun to make something better.
That's what all these threads here are about 🙂
Well that's the issue with the rev 1- you HAD to mod it to get it perform properly whether you wanted to or not. Fixing something that was supposed to be "reference" isn't my idea of fun.....
Yeah I understand your complaint, yet I myself also balance that understanding with some of the things others have pointed out on the thread. Like that marketing in audio is known to be hyperbolic. And the old wisdom 'Caveat Emptor'.
Then ask yourself if its really likely that a guy, who as far as we know had no record of designing high-end DACs, and who also designs by the numbers is going to come up with something that's the equal of say TotalDac which has benefitted from market feedback over a number of years? My own answer to this is 'very, very unlikely'.
100% agreed. I always think the low tap filter is the bottleneck of today's most DAC. This is the reason why Chord DAC sounds good, but we DIYer can do it with a computer with any DAC. 🙂

Interesting. Could you share more about this? Or have any topic talk about it?
Thanks.

How is ease of use/configurability with the latest version of the DAM? How does one "filter roll" with the current version?
For those that were planning to use it in multichannel crossover application this should now be possible with the MiniDSP USB streamer as the transport and I believe one user has implemented multiple DAMs with this, though I will need to double check that.

The Moderation Team would like to remind some of the members that the forum is not the appropriate place for airing customer complains, therefore please conduct all such discussions with the vendor in private via PM or email.Is there a place people can report shady vendors to alert the community to their dishonest business practices?
Its looking as if @kuribo's public shaming has borne some fruit (scroll down to the last post) - https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/32133-soekris-r2r-dac-heads-up/
He is flaming that all over internet on different forums and blogs..
CA, AudioAsylum, Head-Fi, Head Case, hifiduino blog etc...
Unsympathetic IMO.
Very well. My dam still plays lovely tunes.

Also on Head-Case, as his 1st post... Looks like he is looking for beef.

Looks as if Soren offered to update his boards for $25/per but he initially declined and expected it for free. Now he accepts that deal after someone else agreed that it was a good deal... I mean that's an awesome deal, I'd so jump on that.
Hey Soren how much can you sell those v1 boards for? I'm sure many here would love some discounted boards to mod. 😀
Well my thoughts are for any diy kit be it assembled or unsoldered should
at least be properly develop before sales. Off course being diy, tweaks or
improvement there after is all up to the builder. At the same time I do think
it is fair for the designer to charge for extra services beyond certain hours
of tech support.
