Can it run on batteries? The power supplies (usually switching supplies) are the weak point in these cheap DACs and sometimes more expensive DACs. Sadly I've seen switching supplies used in DACs costing over $2k. Understandable in a product that costs $200. But I'm still hoping switching to batteries or upgrading the power supply is possible

Prayers for you Bruce. Thank you for the great review. This would be great as a secondary DAC, maybe for listening on my computer.

[@TheBoomerConsumer]

It’s a great value.

[@mikecampbell5856]

I've been praying for you Bruce. Enjoying this review. An R2R DAC at that price is quite a steal!

[@TheBoomerConsumer]

It's a great device.

Hope your treatment goes well Bruce! Rooting for you! Love from UK

I was finally able to order one, and it should be here on the 12th. Took about a month for them to show up on Amazon again. I'm interested in how it performs on it's own and with HQPlayer. Going to put in my 2ch and see how it stacks up.

I love my K11 R2R!

[@LDFades]

What would I need to add to this in a wireless streaming setup? Maybe something like the WiiM Mini via optical?

[@robinkleinsteuber5217]

Hey, a really nice, surprising device! R2R DAC units tend to be pricey. It's about time there was some option at lower cost for new audiophiles/music lovers to get into. Bonus for it being a really good unit, too! It's too bad that it's not available at present, as it could make a great Christmas gift for a newbie! I may pick up one for myself, too. 😉 Thanks for mentioning again, as I just subscribed to your other channel. Anyhow, cheers, and great listening! 😊 🎶🎶🎶

[@TheBoomerConsumer]

I hope you can get your hands on one soon!

Next time a young whipper snapper calls your stuff junk, do a side by side comparison. Cracked iphone with cylinder speaker vs a wall of vintage gear. See which one you can FEEL

[@TheBoomerConsumer]

That would be a fun comparison!

[@pascalmartin1891]

Nice equipment. Just miss a remote (I am lazy), Take care of yourself and good luck.

[@TheBoomerConsumer]

Thanks for the well wishes.

Hi, could you please remove the text 'Amp' from the title? I was really confused because this is not an Amp. Thanks!

[@thumbthumb5998]

Its headphone amp with pretty decent output especially in balanced.

[@TheBoomerConsumer]

It’s a Dac and Headphone amplifier

[@gu1111]

Can the display lights be turned off?

[@Kekdouble]

Yeah you can set the brightness down to 0, for the RBG logo but not for the interface

[@WilliamPollard]

Yes. Turned that top LED off. Would get hot. Nice and cool now. This DAC sounds great to me.

[@NigelFudge]

@@Kekdouble actually you can set a timer for the screen to go off after any adjustments, between 1 - 30 minutes. I have mine set at 1 min.

[@SonGokuhSSJ]

How does this compare to something like a Bifrost 2?

[@TheBoomerConsumer]

Honestly I have no idea, I have not heard one
