"No R2R experience"

Posted by AbeCollins on June 5, 2022 at 08:38:57:

I have limited R2R DAC experience using the Devafrips Ares II. It was definitely smooth and somewhat warm but lost a good amount of detail, transient attack, and transparency. It was excellent with 'simple music' like vocals, smooth jazz, but sounded congested with anything 'complex' like most of my rock music. It would probably be the polar opposite of your Benchmark DAC but I'm just guessing.
