@kalali, but we managed to not let you go broke, if typical Audiogon wisdom prevailed you'd be shelling out for a TotalDac. My dilemma is to whether order the 1541 now, or wait a bit and order the Denafrips Venus...
Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter??
Maybe the ultimate PCM (RedBook) converter? Sure looks the goods.

To be honest, this is the first time I've ever considered buying a piece of gear sight unseen. The main reason I felt somewhat comfortable with the Soekris brand is their extensive experience in design and manufacturing of some highly sophisticated computer and networking equipment. I considered the lower end Denafrip Ares but the volume control - supposedly well implemented, in Soekris gave me a justification to repurpose the funding I had set aside for a (tube) preamp to this piece. I may change my mind depending on how well I can stomach the wait. |
Note to self: Stop reading Audiogon before I go completely broke.The problem being is our inner audio monkey keeps getting touched in a way that makes it happy, so..... Right in the core reptilian brain area where sex and addictions and neural re-wiring takes place. And the audio argument is born. As big as an angry and excitable house built out of flaming dynamite. |
Kalali, Note to self: Stop reading Audiogon before I go completely broke. Don't worry we will help you spend your money. The 1541 or 1421 look darn good for the money. I'm on the hunt for a good R2R dac on a budget for a friend of mine, don't know what we will end up. I'm kinda overwhelmed with all the choices out there. Best of luck to you, Kenny. |
Here is another one that I think is R2R and is somewhat affordable. High praise in this review. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2017/04/16/review-borderpatrol-usb-digital-to-analogue-converter-se-v... |
