Ross369on your first point I doubt this is ever coming back.
On your second point I will send you my PayPal address and be very happy to take YOUR cash. :)
LisasonictowerI would say R-2R is going to reappear, question is what form,, I think that a ‘balanced’ or dual in the same matching box still is the best bet. NASA could be cited for ripping off the Neanderthal’s ladder invention, used to climb down to the surface of the Moon from the LM... before thinking of confronting drop & Airist for their R-2R that is based on an expired USN patent, now in the “public domain”... same as DSD;)... serendipities do happen, the two together, R-2R & DSD 5.6,, well,, divine...
rastusI’m unsure if you’re suggesting I’m confronting Drop and Airist?
I’m all for R2R and patiently waiting for a matching one but as for this specific Airist one I still say I doubt it.
LisasonictowerNo, just pro-actively saying that the drop/airist bit about ripping off a ripped off a rip off from so many other rip offs is just a bit offensive, since the technology was put into the public domain by the US government itself and the alleged rip-off was from a fellow thief touting freeware, in China lol, if that logic is followed.
You, willing to get a nice affordable R-2R @ state-your-price-cash,, obviously get it. Hopefully they do bring it back, in an even better config. R-2R was one of those rare actual gifts from above,, sorry meant the govt;)
Lisasonictowerohh no sorry to hear, what do you have now? i have a Drop Grace Balanced arriving sometime in this century (i think).... but im restless and thinking of getting a Topping E30 in the mean time. alright whats your PayPal acct? jk
Ross369Lol....I have the Grace SDAC balanced now, I had both DAC’s at the same time until the RDAC died a premature death. The Grace is perfectly good but the Airist just gave me something extra I was looking for musically and emotionally.
LisasonictowerAh cool, yeah the Topping E30 arrived and meh, i dont see much difference from my Topping MX3, now just waiting for my Grace sometime in Aug/ Sep who knows lol. Butt totally. I would love to experience the Airist R2D2 (insert R2D2 whistle here) w my 789 i think it would bee very special ....oh boy, time to make an offering to the audio gods.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-BKjnAgNgY
