[QUOTE="Nidri, post: 812279, member: 1342"] These new(ish) low-priced discrete R2R designs certainly seem to be the flavour of the moment. Haven't heard this one specifically but e.g. the Denafrips Ares definitely has quite a distinct sound. (very 'smooth' imo) Some absolutely love what they do, others are lukewarm. With the Ares I was somewhere in the middle. It's my understanding that it's technically quite challenging to get great performance out of these designs, requiring careful matching of the resistors, etc. etc. Hence there are a lot of very costly discrete R2R DAC's on the market. Could this one be a giant killer? Who knows. Here's a comparison thread on HF, FWIW: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/audio-gd-nfb-11-28-vs-r2r-11.858093/ [/QUOTE]
