MUSICIAN Pegasus R2R DAC


Recommended Posts

Looks really interesting. I couldn't get their web site to work, so I found it here for sale at $1099:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001054833814.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7e263500sDp2RJ&algo_pvid=790e9196-ae5b-435d-ad34-b7d17b7f1b2b&algo_expid=790e9196-ae5b-435d-ad34-b7d17b7f1b2b-0&btsid=0be3769015907369770097969e2177&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

 

specs and some more detail are listed there also. 

On paper it's a giant killer. Will be interesting to see how good you think it is. 

Main listening (small home office):

Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.

Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three .

Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup.
Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. 

All absolute statements about audio are false :)

Seems like some of the soldering is sloppy and the parts aren't straight. I'd be interested to hear how it deals with DSD.

is it possible to see the measurements you have taken?
can I ask how it manages the DSD?

The blurb says 32 stage FIR filter. So that's rather similar to DSC1 and DSC2.

 

we hope the designers tell us something 🙄

Looking forward to a review!

 

it is likely that the dac arrives to Chris towards the end of the month ....
usually the arrival is one month after the order ....
