Hi
@HoosierHiFi
Sorry for the delay. You're close, but it's not the Octo. It's the D70 Pro Sabre. I preferred it to the Octo, even though it cost more, because it seems to sound better. More detail and a better soundstage.
Just out of curiosity, I've now set my sights on this Fiio Warmer, which hasn't arrived in Europe yet, rumored to be early December.
I'm really intrigued because it's a pure DAC, without amplification or preamplification, and...it's a tube r2r!!
A tube DAC is something I've never seen before. Considering the price, it's around €350-370 € I want to give it a try, especially since Fiio makes excellent products. Another thing is that the Meters are analog, that is, real Meters and not digital ones represented on a screen.
I have the K11 r2r and even though it costs half the price of the D70 I would say it has nothing to envy to the D70 Pro Sabre. The K11 is the DAC that I currently use the most.
