Soekris ApS dac1101 another discrete R2R Multibit dac.

Straight out-of-the-box the Soekris lifted a vail from the music. I heard greater separation of vocals from the instruments, better placement of sounds, slightly wider soundstage. Every song sounds different, clearer, smoother, right.

What a great experience to hear this profound change! Ive spent almost three years with my current DAC thinking I had it good. I didn't.

I haven't yet set up the network audio streamer, want to compare apples-to-apples right now.

A few more hours burn in may reveal more changes. I'll post more later. Schiit Yggdrasil should be arriving in a few days...

If you are a purchaser of the rev 1, see this thread on DiyAudio:

Original purchasers of the rev 1 dac boards purchased them assuming, based on the initial sales pitch, that they were finished, tested, functions as advertised, products. Only afterwards did Soekris Engineering admit they were beta tests boards with design issues and did not live up to his initial claims. He has refused to offer any refunds, credits, etc. despite a classic bait and switch.

If you were a victim of Soekris Engineering’s dishonest business practices, contact me.
