New Dac the FiiO K13 R2R: Early Impressions

[Jasonovich]

I am afraid all of those are probably above my pay grade but sounds an interesting proposition. At least I only have one system to listen to these days which is in my man cave and only use headphones.

That's why I am waiting to see if the K17 R2R has an improved R2R and Headphone amp in which case it would save a lot of space and mains leads/interconnects by replacing my four current units and the SSD I have in the Eversolo would transfer to a USB SSD caddy sitting behind. All theory at the moment!

I believe the K17 is already out but it isn't R2R, it uses AKM chipset, not unless they're bringing out an R2R version of the K17?
Now that would be interesting 🙂

Yes, very interesting!

Apparently there will be an R2R version of the K17 due to be released in July I understand.

@Jasonovich I meant to ask you before, I note from your diner set up you are using an LPS PL50 with your K11 R2R I assume? Did you detect any sonic differences with that?
