Discrete R2R Ladder dac from Soekris, Absolute Sounds review.

Very affordable highly regarded discrete R2R dac from the Dutch. The few that own them here and elsewhere are over joyed at the sound that these dacs can make, and Soren Kristensen is held in very high regard as a digital designer.

Consider if the DAC has a remote control for the volume. If that does not matter, consider how the volume is incremented on the DAC and how large the volume control is for yuor hand. One annoyance is that Soekris DAC volume control knob is very small and it is easy go under/over shoot where you want to set it. A larger volume control knob is easier to control. Of course, not the end of the world.
