Airist Audio discrete R-2R DAC, at an unbelievable $350!!!!!

Hi mstrauss, sorry when you said ol dac I thought you meant an old R2R dac.
From what I found out the Ol Dac is not R2R multibit as it does 192 upsampling, so it’s most probably delta sigma.
To me R2R has it over delta sigma when converting redbook pcm. And for dsd what I found the Ol Dac can’t do it either.

Cheers George

The Massdrop on these, went ahead a few hours ago, interesting that 121 units have sold already!

Cheers George

I don't want to buy now and wait 6 months or until they finally get their production issues sorted out.  The guy who is claiming the design is his really missed an opportunity.  If he had product ready to go right now, he could have sold me one of those if he could have had it to me next week.

140 now!!! they'll sell out the 960 units by days end.

Cheers George

Thx George. I believe you are correct w my ol dac being delta sigma and as I don’t believe the files I import are pcm or dsd(not actually sure) I think I’ll pass on this r2r for now, tempting as it is. Appreciate your input. Cheers, Mike
