Anyone using an Audio-GD DAC with an Innuos sever with Roon Core installed? I am thinking about purchasing an R-8 and want to make sure there is Roon compatibility using a USB connection.
Audio-gd
I want to solicit feedbcak from others using Audio-Gd products. For background purposes, I can say that my inclination has mostly been towards tube based gear. I recently have owned numerous ARC preamps, SP-3A, LS-15, LS-25 MKI, LS-5 MKIII, REF II MKII. In addition I have owned BAT preamps (a couple VK-3, VK-50SE) McIntosh C26 and C100 solid state and C11 tube. In ancient history I have tried numerous SS items, Marantz 3300, 3600, 3800, Apt Holman and Dynaco PAT-4.
Most recently I have tried the Sino offerings, YS-Audio and through a positive experience with a recent DAC purchase, Audio-Gd.
The sum of my accumulated aural knowledge has always led towards tubes.
Recently I replaced a Benchmark DAC with an Audio-GD Ref I DAC. Based on the improvement I heard relative to the Benchmark, I decided to try Audio-Gd's top of the line pre-amp, C3-MKIII.
After allowing for a full 30 day break-in period (very impotant), I have been astonished by the quality of the A-GD sound. It is much more coherent than my tube gear without sacrificing any warmth or mid-range tonality.
Having tried a range of components. from low to high-end, I wonder if others have tried similar comparisons. Based on the build and sonic quality, I am incredibly impressed.
