Cortes Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 anyone in the forum, or in Earth planet... did have the opportunity to listen to this exotic DAC?. Specs are interesting: 24-bit R2R PCM1704U-K, USB 192 kHz/24 bits input, I2S input. NOS DAC. Price: 2500Euros (multiply 1.3 to get $) http://www.acousticplan.de/html/digimaster_english_.html Link to comment
FranklinLG Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm with you Cortes. I'm going crazy trying to find something, anything... There's really nothing out there except one German review, which is in German... I may end up buying one this week from my dealer, but that would be based SOLELY upon his recommendations and the fact that I have a Shindo set-up. But still...

tubesound Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 http://www.aquahifi.com/la_scala.html This one's power supply is way better ... Link to comment
Cortes Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 the German one R2R, which is the most attractive part. Link to comment
tubesound Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 and I think PCM1704 is R2R? Link to comment
FranklinLG Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The USB as well as the SPDIF inputs have 192kHz/24 bit receivers and they pass on the data stream to the 24-bit R2R PCM1704U-K converter. Neither upsampling nor oversampling is used and this keeps the data as pure as possible. Jonathan[br]-------------------[br]Still finding my way, but soaking it all up like a sponge! Link to comment
tubesound Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 for PCM1704 chips according to Kingwa, the Audio GD DAC designer. This is his flagship PCM1704 DAC: http://audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/RE7.1/RE7.1EN.htm Link to comment
FranklinLG Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Tubesound, Interesting.

tubesound Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 and I bought his DAC19DSP recently to try it out: http://audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/DAC19/DAC19EN.htm The initial impression is very good. I need more hours to run it in before I have a final conclusion. Link to comment
FranklinLG Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I want to briefly share that I've now had this DAC for over a month, and it is incredible. The top to bottom range is amazing. I am wiring on a review for it and will post it on my new blog: Getting Lost in Analogue!. Jonathan[br]-------------------[br]Still finding my way, but soaking it all up like a sponge!

Holberg Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi FranklinLG I´m also looking at the AP DigiMaster since I own the AP Sitar integrated amp. I´m quite taken by the Acoustic Plan sound and 1st class build quality. Outstanding products! My question is as follows: Are You using the DigiMaster with the standard switch mode wall wart or the linear PowerMaster PSU?
