Anyone got a FiiO K11/K11 R2R

I'm thinking of getting one of these to go into my amp as a DAC, connecting it either an old cd or dvd player. Has anyone got one? Used/heard one? What did you think? I think they work with USB C - so i phones too!!

Ah great. @mrk may have even done a review!!

I'd probably be using it mostly as a DAC. To play CDs through and from my iphone (currently Spotify but that might change to Apple Music), but I do have some Beyer Dynamic DT-770s (the might be the pro ones...) 2x25ohms which might get used.

How does music from your PC sound?

The R2R version does sound good but it's another £40. Why did you go for that rather than the standard one?

Thanks for this. Really interesting. Smooth warm slightly analogue sound does sound like just the ticket, and the headphones aren't a deal breaker - they're mostly for learning to play the bass so are studio cans really.

I'm really after making my stereo in the kitchen (old sherwood amp - recapped) and Elac speakers sound as good as I can without breaking the bank.

OK so the place that rhymes with flan, is out of stock, the rain forest only has them on import from the states (and is also terrible these days). Where did you guys get yours from?

So I missed out on the offer but eventually got one, and the difference over my old disc man, is incredible. I'm really noticing it in the drums and bass right now. The level of detail is really superb.
