Quiz: Which DAC Is This?

[amirm]

I once deleted my post a few hours ago, but I think I should post again:
A DAC playing a lossy codec.

No. This is an ordinary DAC being tested out of the box the way I always do using USB.

I'm guessing this is something using Bluetooth? Kinda reminds me of the Dx3 via Bluetooth's plots.

No Bluetooth.

The ”game-changing” Massdrop x Airist Audio R-2R Dac is my guess as well.

Does it deliver: ”... accurate reproduction with resolution, attack and decay that sounds realistic, enough information to get a sense of space and instrumentation, and voicing that adds to the perception of true performance and enjoyment.” ??

Nah, the Airist RDAC won't achieve any higher than 60 dB SINAD.

If I get some clues like make and model, I will be able to guess it.

We need more clues . Does it has balanced output? Standalone DAC or a combo? Portable or not?

I guess a V2 is on order!

 

[wadec22]

whoa..... this does not give me confidence in how the M10 will measure!

 

[rajapruk]

For sure!
First there will be an updated version 1.1. Then there will be a version 1.2. Then everybody will want to have "V2" (when it is actually V3 they should want) in a wonderful confusion (and maybe language barrier)!

Wow, I was so tempted by the 11-11 sale for $80. Saw a post that Amir ordered one, and decided to hold off until the review. So glad right now.
