exquisite dac good for amplifier

For the first time with r2r dac, after comparing with Hugo tt2, my Pegasus showed better low frequencies and thicker sound, so I can listen to music for a long time without feeling tired.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • annoying

Clarity and Detail - Amplifier

I've had it for almost a month now. The listening experience has definitely improved. There seems to be more detail and clarity, especially with percussion instruments. I'll have to do a more thorough analysis when I get the new speakers and amp, but so far I'm very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • No Form Required

It's nice to have a tool to help you enjoy music even more

From China to Texas 9 days, badass. There's a reason it has such good reviews. Plug it in, crank it up and enjoy the music, that's what it's all about. I2S with Moode sound sounds fantastic. The I2S has 8 different phase settings, giving you a wide range of tones. A very good feature. Can't wait to try the Monoceros preamp and Andromeda headphone amp. They know they will be fire!

Pros
  • even old people can understand
Cons
  • No color required

One of the BEST DACS I've ever heard!

This DAC is fantastic! Sound has true dimension and weight! NOT FOUND in delta sigma DACs like the topping d90 or the new smsl m40. The clarity is amazing too. Bass notes are deep and textured. The soundstage is unusually large for something at this affordable price point. The mids are forward and crisp without harshness. I admit that a device only sounds good if it has been running for at least 24 hours. According to some reviews on the forums, it only lasts a couple of weeks. It also needs to

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • All right

Bargain High Quality DAC

FedExed from China, this arrived in perfect condition 17 days after I ordered it. Revain's website predicted up to two and a half months! Pegasus was immediately impressed by the level of detail, but sounded rather weak. After 20 hours everything was clear. I use it in a headphone system fed by Roon via an optical streamer and single ended output to a tube linear amp and although the manufacturer recommends balanced I am perfectly satisfied with every aspect of the sound - although it can beโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Sounds better than MHDT Orchid

My previous DAC was MHDT Orchid. The Pegasus sounds more balanced, with deeper, punchier bass. The mids and highs are also appealing and less colored than the Orchid. I really noticed acoustic flaws in my room that I hadn't noticed before. Don't get me wrong the MHDT which I love and spent a decent amount of money on rolling tubes - it has a nice and attractive presentation with great instrument separation. In my second system with the SET amplifier it sounds great. But the Pegasus is cleanerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Doubtful

An amazing discovery of a quality DAC!

I ordered this DAC after reading the review. The Musician Pegasus r2r DAC is more than comparable to the DACs Pontus II and Terminator from Denifrips in terms of sound and processing quality. I've listened to and compared both and saved over $3,000 by going with the Pegasus. The internals are top notch, as is the impressive build quality. What an amazing find at a ridiculously low price. The Pegasus replaced my Schitt Yggdrasil V2 and Bricasti DACs with lower noise, better detail reproductionโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Protection

Honest, melodious, melodious, transparent - highly recommended!

If you love music and are willing to spend money on this device to complete it with a good amplifier and speakers, I would say that you have made a very good decision! I consider my system a solid mid-range setup: Musical Fidelity M6si, Dynaudio Special 40s, MartinLogan Dynamo 500. No expensive cables. I stream both Revain Music HD and Tidal and upload hi-res files from my laptop from time to time. I hooked up a Musician Pegasus straight out of the box to the balanced inputs on my M6si. Itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Expandable
