Another discrete R2R Ladder Multibit Dac, this ones from Audio GD, their coming on strong.


Another discrete R2R Multibit Dac. looks like the BB pcm1704's are drying up.
This is the bottom rung 19 dac they tend to do the top Ref Masters ect later with the improvements.

Very poor distortion ratings vs completion and run hot several  said board fried .
in R8,not good.
I think The poor review of Singularity 19 is because it was not burned in at all. It needs about 600-1000 hrs of burning in, I heard from audio-gd users! I am not u
sure If reviewer got a second burned in unit or not but he reviewed it immediately without playing for days at least it seems unless I missed something in the review. Too bad, I really want some reviews to compare audio-god with schiit or metrum or holospring
Yeah, that same guy reviewed the Holo in the context of many other DACs. I think he’s kept the Holo as a second DAC. Kind of a long series of posts, but quite exhaustive: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/life-after-yggdrasil-watering-the-ash.4036/

Some other impressions here - a long string of them if you want to read through the whole thing: http://superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/holo-audio-spring-dac-level-3-kitsune-tuned-editi...

And one other guy had a entire writeup on NOS type DACs. Can’t seem to find the post, but I know it’s there. One of the Soekris DACs is covered in another post too somewhere.

Wow if this is right, stay away from the Audio-GD Singularity 19 DAC.

Did these same guys do reviews on the Holo,  Denafrips or Sokeris?

That is such a great price for a discrete R2R dac.  I will have to read user reviews!
both those sites bring up errors.
Odd I click on them and they go straight there.
