Which DAC measurements do you like to see next?

RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE

GUSTARD X26 III Dual ES9039SPRO

...then Topping D90 III Discrete

Absolutely, after all the rave reviews on other channels. On top of that, Topping seems to have been listening to us audio fans by implementing PEQ via an Windows app (through USB). Thus, it would be interesting to the RMI DAC 2 FS, especially as it is around 350 USD cheaper.

Hello iugurbas

About the Rod Rain Audio DA10 DAC:

Curiously, I do not think that this DAC will be measured and presented here: at the price where it is offered and in view of its sound performance and decoding possibilities, it may bother more than one...
... that's a shame

However, i do not have enough to measure this DAC but I confirm that it is excellent

On mine, I've made some changes (see orange arrows) but I'm not done yet...

Here's what it looks like so far ->

View attachment 240160

View attachment 240070

2 x OPAMPS LME 49990 (they are single OPAMS mounted in double on the DIP8 support) for XLR outputs and 1 x OPAMP OPA 1656 for RCA outputs

Regards.

Hi, do you remember at what value you replaced the original capacitors? Did you keep their capacitance or did you give a larger one?

Hi Braddock95

Excuse me for the poor quality of the photos ->

I mainly replaced these capacitors to be sure that they were original but also better than the original ones.

I can't provide you with before/after measurements, sorry

All I can say is that to my liking, the 'musicality' was much better, even if this is only a purely subjective statement.

However, my friends greatly appreciated the 'musicality' of this modified device

Kind regards.

If its subjective, why sharing this?

Only objective comments are usefull

I am pretty certain the sound quality is exactly the same before and after

Human ears are not mics ... Especially when WE get aged

How old are you?

Hello.

Braddock95 dared me a specific question, I answer him to what he asked me: it's the least politeness...
... I hope it didn't bother you too much though

Have a good day everyone.
