ASR seems a little quirky at times. They juke the input voltages on certain equipment to obtain better SNR readings. Not certain that holding ASR in high regard or as the reference would be beneficial for you as a consumer in the long run.
Audio GD R8 MK2 DAC
I was wondering if anyone has experience with Audio GD
On the Audio Science pages this brand has got a very bad wrap ,saying fake specifications
and poor quality ,on YouTube the R7mk2 got a very good review .
wally has this dac for just under $2k he says it is much better then the Denafrips pontusmk2
The Audio gdR8 mk2 does look very well built and weighs over 30 lbs 3 Rcore transformers and a lot of filtering , this is very perplexing ,Wally says 2 year warranty in the US for repairs if any issue .
I see nothing for a trial period it is a R2R dac dynamics I am sure there is plenty of control with all the big power supplies but how does it sound ? No Reviews ,which is very odd. Please comment for anyone that knows the prior R8 or current model .
