I would have brought measuring rig, but honestly, just too much for me to do. I don't think anyone cared enough to do comprehensive listening, just informal sessions. Alex (AZ) maybe did.

I believe the consensus is that my latest production pair was the best sounding. All the pairs were production. Schiit's pair had the most difficult treble - I had to do a TP mod on it, and even then the treble still had that splashy steely timbre. Mr. Speakers Ether was actually better balanced than that pair IMO. I believe Ultrabike/Gilberto felt the same way.

Yup. I preferred Jason's Ether to the HE1k around his table (even after mods).

the one redacted that ends all 1200$ DS DACs? That's exactly my price barrier. End of this year can't come soon enough, although please stay Sonnenschein. Just for a good while.

To add to that did anyone that heard the redacted ^2 and is familiar with r2r dacs feel that there was any d-s sound in it?

Not at all. The treble was a bit disjointed in the morning, but calmed down in the afternoon. About three to four hours. Just leave it on. Overall on the warmer sounding side.

None at all. It's really a special type of sound. That said - I only heard it after it had been on a few hours. Damn good sound.

There should be a redacted and a redacted^2.  Pretty sure LFF and I were listening to a redacted^2. I don't think it is going to break the bank. Also agree with LFF about the sound. And I have owned an R2R Dac for some time.
