Audio-GD R-8 MK3 / R8 MK3 Real Balanced Fully Discrete R2R Ladder Desktop DAC

It has been 3 years since the R-8 was launched in 2018. Thanks to the fully programmable circuits of the R-8, we have continuously updated the firmware to improve the owner experience.

The R-8 MK3 was designed and tested at the beginning of 2020, which was followed by a year of continuous audition, software and hardware fine-tuning.

Using the latest discrete servo stabilized power supply, whose performance is comparable to batteries after more than a year of calibration and optimization for each part of the circuit.

The DA parts use these new discrete servo stabilized power supplies, the analog circuits are still powered by pure class-A power supplies to achieve the best sound, as determined during listening tests.

Productions and sales were not scheduled until we were fully satisfied with how realistic the sound was. The improvement is quite obvious compared to the previous generation.
