Better R2R DAC Recommendation?


I’m new to digital after being vinyl only forever and am enjoying my Denafrips Ares 2 streamed from a Project Streambox S2 Ultra using Audirvana. Of course since I’m enjoying it, I need something even better... it’s a hobby after all.

I’d like to spend no more than $2k on the used market. Anyone have a favorite R2R?

I second Murrayburke’s post... If you just need USB or S/PDIF, the BorderPatrol SEi DAC is terrific. I have one and it’s been a mainstay in my system. Nice analog-like sound. It’s an R-2-R with no oversampling and no digital-filter. And for the top of the line its under $2K...  I also have the Denafrips Terminator-Plus which is also terrific although a good bit above your $$$ range...
