Fiio K11 R2R DAC/HPAMP measurements

As far as I know, there is no such thing for iOS and Apple Music.
That is why I added the condition "If you play your collection of music files" as I believe the Neutron Music Player can do oversampling on iOS. Apple should consider adding options for fixed sample rates to the app. It seems that quite a few DACs cannot smoothly handle sample rate changes on the fly due to hardware limitations. Sure, all DACs could be designed to deal with such a situation properly. But that is unlikely to happen...

Interesting. I own neither of them, but was considering the R2R to replace my dated Topping E30 on my desktop. I was into the R2R due to all those positive yt reviews.
This week, I found the following video, which stated both sound the same.
Why do you like the regular K11, but not the R2R? What was the difference?

I own both of them, and they’re both great — more than good enough for most people.
I think these DACs can really tie together the kind of sound you’re chasing. Your amps and speakers already have their own character, and the right DAC helps link it all to the sound you’re after.
The non-R2R version has noticeably less bass and a more clinical, detailed sound. The detail is incredible. But with my main setup a Pioneer A-A9 and Opus 2-2 — the R2R is night-and-day better. The music has more weight, more feel; it’s juicy and lovely to listen to loud all day long.
On another system where I run Eclipse car amps, a 12-inch sealed metal sub, and cheaper Yamaha bookshelf speakers, the non-R2R is perfect. That setup already has plenty of bass I need to control, so the extra detail from the non-R2R balances it beautifully.
Both are great — it just depends on the kind of sound you’re looking for.

If your young R2R.
If listen to lots oldman music lol, non R2R.
