reviews on DAC AUDIO GD R8

I wish they offered it as a dac/pre

The New AudioGD R8 MK2 -R2R dac is much better then the  upgrade model the 2021 model ,which is inferior in many  ways in  build design compared ,that’s Why I waited ,the Owner Kingwa  stated the New MK-2 is a big step forwards.after a year in design improvements .I will have this next week 
after hearing it vs my Pontus 2 dac ,it has much better dynamics and Control
bass slam no contest .I already sold the Pontus ,and as a bonus 
And the beauty is over 6 true adjustments in NOS as well as 3 over sampling modes a very involving dac,even a vinyl mode  adjust to your audio system and taste,no dac I know of has all the sonic goodness and adjustability especially in the $2k price class  . Yes tweak 1 is correct ,Underwood Wally  is where I ordered my dac from ,they were sold out ,more coming ,and several reviews 
coming out I was told.

FYI: Underwood HiFi is selling Audio GD kit

Hello

I was in possession of an Audio GD R8 in Full upgrade 2021, and finally I turned to a DAC DENAFRIPS PONTUS II

on my system, the Pontus goes much further while it is not even broken in, wide sound stage, very accurate highs and a well articulated bass, a really analog listening very close to an audiomat Tempo 2.8

good to you

I read  1 story3 years ago and 2 guys were stacking preamp on it with no vent
for the record the new R8 mk2 are excellent .I have a Denafrips pontus2 
andthe audio gdis better in many ways and latest design 3 Big ultra low noiseR core transformers running in class A for analog outputs ,and a new servo digital 
output section which runs much cooler and low in  distortion .

I have seen several buyers online whose units  overheated and fried the boards 
and the buyers were blamed and  warranty voided , that's a scary thought.

Their dacs are exceptional , very overlooked because they were not represented here .having lived in Europe for several years they have a big following 
they keep getting better.I have seen a few idiots saying how they didnot measure 
thst great vs a $500 dac ,you can Mack anything measure good on paper 
it’s how it sounds thst truly counts. For years they said vacuum tubes are don3 solid state measures much better ,guess what Vacuum tubes hacpve that you are their in their sonics they sound like music that’s it all I care about .
pin fact I have heard their R8 mk2/,and it’s filtering power supplies are massive 
it sounds very involving ,I am considering their top Audio GD -R7 HE MK-2
with pure class A regenerator power supply , it weighs 37 lbs and is stunning
for $3700 for a multiple level R2R dac it is a steal  and 5heir R8 mk2 for under $2k a no brainer .the power supplies gives you that dynamic impact most dacs mids out on ,that’s why this R8 mk2 is a fantastic ladder dac and weighs 25 lbs

I have the baby Audio Gd.  It is the headphone amp with R2R DAC.  EXCEPTIONALLY good for its price. I tried the DAC portion and was blown away. I have the MSB DAC and was toying with my AUDIO GD headphone amp just for fun. Looking at the DAC only version from AudioGD looks promising. Try if you can. Suppport from Audio GD from China is excellent.
