Opinions on GD R8 audio DAC


Recommended Posts

Hello to all

I am thinking about the acquisition of a new DAC to connect to a muisk server in I2S link and I would like to have your feedback on the AUDIO GD R2R DAC
the one I'm looking for is the GD R8 audio upgraded to R2R

Thank you for your feedback

Hi cpasmoi,

 

Bit late but better something than nothing.

 

I have a 2021 AudioGD R27 that has the R8 dac modules and I have no complaints what so ever.

 

The usb isolation on the 2021 models is fantastic - Ive been able to do away with all of my usb filters/conditioners and now have the R27 plugged directly into a SOTM SMS200.

 

This is my first audio GD product and second r2r dac so I dont have a great deal to compare it with.

Later still, I would echo Paul’s positive feedback on the R-8. 
 

I too have the R-27 and am very satisfied with it. But I was comparing it to a ES9018 Sabre dac (Burson CV2+). 
 

it’s given me much more in terms of flow and life to the music. Resolution and dynamics  are higher too. 
 

(but that’s as dac+combo vs dac+combo)

TF cards - USB  -> GentooPlayer in RAM on Rpi4b, Ian’s PurePi II, FIFO Q7, HDMI-pro  -> Audio GD R-27 -> S.A.T. Infinity monoblocks -> Gallo Stradas + TR-3 sub / Erzetich Phobos
