Rene Van Es is eager to review a 2022 digital source with a R2R DAC chip inside, also new and fresh from manufacturer (ESS). Our DMS-700 is so good that it can compete with many separate streamer front end/DAC combos and is a winner among other standalone network players.
The plus sides as hifi.nl sees it:
great sound
resistor ladder DAC
a plethora of inputs and outputs
full-fledged digital pre-amp for use with power amp or active speakers
mobile app works well
most functions available via remote
easy to read and informative display
Roon ready.
The review is in Dutch and you can read it at hifi.nl!
