Does it replace the R7HE MK2... are you questioning how it sounds in your system? trust your ears. Is it making you smile, tap your foot, bob your head... or....?There could be lots of reasons if not, cables, interconnects what digital cable are your using?
I have a ~ 4 yo Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 dac/pre, that is quite good, especially at the used price I bought it for), but something in the high frequencies isn’t quite as smooth as I would like, at least on some Redbook CDs.
Ive looked at Audio GD R28 and it has all the makings of an excellent dac/pre, (whether the R2R dac is an upgrade can only be determined by purchasing it) and the price is certainly right (see Underwood HiFi pricing)
