Discreet R2R Ladder Dacs

I am also very interested in this development and am curious as to "what's out there". If people are talking about a vast improvement over the AN DAC5, then it's got my attention. I lived with a AN DAC 3.1x and loved it ... my favorite digital so far. I've been holding out waiting for this technology to get into my price range but haven't heard of anything coming out lately.

I'm a stupid one language American and had a hard time deciphering the pricing on the Totaldac's. Did I see $29k?? Looks like I'll be waiting for the Chinese trickle down technology version.

They have them in that price range, but the single ended/unbalanced version is $7,100. They also have an integrated for about that price. Just add NAS/HDD. The balanced version is a $4000 premium. All that's the most I would ever consider spending on a piece of stereo equipment. With the TD you can have an electronic crossover added to it. Splitting the lows from the mids at the DAC level really interests me.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!

  Very interesting indeed.
  
  "D2-dual, 69 bit 2 way active crossover including a digital preamp for the main volume control and also for the relative level between bass and treble. The bass channel uses two RCA connectors for stereo without dual DAC option or in mono with dual DAC option. The mid-high channel uses RCA and xlr (balanced) connectors, with dual DAC option. The crossover slope can be 6dB/oct, 12dB/oct or 18dB/oct. All parameters, crossover frequency, filter slope, relative volume, main volume, relative digital delay... can be controlled from the remote while listening to music. The subwoofer output can be mono-balanced on demand instead of stereo."
