I can only confirm what MAX said. An impressive newcomer. It has excellent functionality, excellent usability and is very well made. combined with a sound quality that is pretty much untouchable for under a grand to produce a truly outstanding all-rounder. Full 5 stars from me.

The Holo Bliss sounds fantastic. Can't stop listening. What a dream! I didn't know the Susvara sounds so beautiful. Cheers.

Erg tevreden over mijn nieuwe set! Ook mijn CD's over optical naar de R7HE is werkelijk een enorme verbetering. Mijn Sony is van de ES serie maar de R7 is wat betreft DAC veeeeeel beter.
Adri van Boerdonk January 22, 2025
This amp price/performance ratio is ridiculously good!!! Just get it. Sounds best connected to a balanced DAC, Rca sounds amazing too. Very Happy customer – great Magna service!

I doubted for a long time whether the ESS DAC would not be the analytical one for me. Jos assured me that this is by no means the case with Audio-GD. Finally ordered and now a few weeks in my possession. I listen through my Audeze LCD-2. Wonderful combination! Tight and deep low and sparkling high with voices that are rock solid. Thanks, great purchase!

Fantastic device! And really happy with the delivery as well.

The R7HE MK2 is the 4th R2R Audio GD DAC I've owned and the best by a large margin. The MK2 DAC really shines brilliantly when connected with a low phase noise 10Mhz external clock. All inputs sound better than previous generations of Audio GD DACs. The MK2 is a clear winner and has taken my audio system to the next level like no other component. Be warned the MK2 takes many hours of burn-in to sound its very best. At least 1,000 hrs. You will be handsomely rewarded for your patience.

After testing Pathos, Classe, Jef Rowland, etc I must say that Audio GD 3A is astonishing for the price, any price actually. Tigh, extend and full bass, very transparent midrange (enfase to voices , cords, piano and blow instruments) and suficientlly airy and resolving top end (a bit harsh at first but after a few days of burn in it]s all gone). Layering and insttruments separation is very good. Soundstage is 3D, texture and expansive, but coherent. Very low distortion at high volumes and full boby in low ones. My sistem is base on Michi P5 and S5 pre and power amplifier, respectly. Rigth now I subjectively perfer the carater of the Audio GD 3A Power Amp. What a dilema! This tell a lot! Many thks for the fellows at Magna HiFi. Cheers!

I own the HE-1 MK2 pre amplifier and the Master 3A power amplifier and I can assure anyone this combi is hard to beat. I did hear a lot of amplifiers like Hegel, Classe, Accuphase etc. but non of them can beat Audio-GD. I use them in combination with a HiFi Rose RS150 streamer and Dali Epicon 6 speakers Sounds like heaven! Would be great if some hifi magazine would dare to test this brand compared to other well known high end brands.

I bought the Master 3A with a R7HE, specifically to have a 100% 'current conveyor' (ACSS) topology. IMHO this combo is the shortcut to a true audiophile/high-end setup with a very manageable price-tag. Music comes across in a very vital, engaging way ... there's a certain natural transparency and directness that could almost be compared to some of the better tube amps (without the harmonic bloom though). Do not believe what you read on ASR and other 'measurement obsessed' sites, Audio-GD have very well figured out what audiophile enjoyment means, some very dedicated engineering at work here.

This is so wholesome and fantastic. using the hifiman Ananda Nano balanced, just wow!
bert January 22, 2025
The Chinese can build really good audio, as the Master 10 proves !. What a beast this is, endless power and a lot of drive. But despite that, the amplifier also has a very open sound with a lot of detail and a wide image. Compared to my Audionet, the Master 10 sounds more powerful and more open, but very rich at softer volumes.
Rene Mossinkhoff January 22, 2025
I already had good experiences with this brand, especially with R2R DAC's, but I did not expect this upgrade. Really great sound through my headphones. I also use the preamp output. This works best with XLR, with RCA I suffered from slight hum. I am very pleased with my musical friend!
Frank January 22, 2025
Wow…! How beautiful does the Master 9 thing sound…!!! Fully balanced connected headphone listener...
Ronald January 22, 2025
It is a journey of discovery in your own music library… What is striking so far is that a lot of lesser recordings now sound better, was really bad but now acceptable! And in particular spice in the percussion is something that is also starting to stand out. All in all it's a big improvement…. Already!
Ronald January 22, 2025
I am really impressed by the sound quality, with my Hifiman HE1000 stealth it is incredible to hear each single instrument separated, placed in its black sphere and each sphere placed in the lateral space and in depth. It is a truly holographic representation and the leap compared to my Hifiman Serenade is evident, in the next few days I will try it with all my other headphones.

Sounds great and features are simply unbeatable for this price. Replacing my Topping preamp - has never been able to charm me anyway.
Norman January 22, 2025
Very pleased with the SU6! It has a silky and refined heights, great details and controlled bass with the right amount of tightness. Midrange is rich and very nice textured.
Daniel January 22, 2025
This evening I will listen to the HE1 extensively It certainly sounds a lot better now that I don't have to worry about the remote control anymore. (Psychological effect)😉🙂 First of all, my warmest thanks for the good and quick support for this special problem. Thanks also to Audio GD, who took the problem seriously and responded quickly, without further discussions.
Michael January 22, 2025
My R28 arrived back to me this morning, thank you. Straight out of the box my system sounds very much improved, I have the R28 hooked up to a GRAAF GM 50B MK2 Integrated. So many thanks for you help and expertise, I look forward to doing business in the future.

Today I received the device and seriously, my hands are shaking while I am writing this letter to you. I know that you said that the burn-in period is 2-3 weeks but we just couldn't hold trying it with my girlfriend. I played classical music and brass music mostly for 15 years to the point that I can't listen to classical music anymore but today we picked up some old favourites, set up the device and played them while sitting in the sweet spot. We just kept listening to the music without talking and we both felt that we start to cry if we don't hold it back. I read a lot about Audio GD in the last few days and I found those bad reviews and measurements that I am sure you also know. I graduated as an electrical engineer and I can read those measurements and I admit I even thought about canceling the order but so good that I did not! Even if the measurements are not good as other devices on the market, it is beyond dispute that the sound is fantastic! It is already fantastic without burn-in, the sound of the instruments are so real, it is unbelievable! Thanks again for the fantastic device and the discount! You got a fan! If it helps your business, I am more than happy to write a review anywhere and I am going to recommend you to my audio friends!

The first sound impression is very positive (of course the device still needs to be used for many hours) The device has a musical soul, I can already hear that clearly.
Michael January 22, 2025
Woiow, Unbelievable Experience. This AMP lifts my Hifima He-6se v2 and my Arya into new Dimensions. The Sound has Plasticity now and is 3D. My old Topping a90 is a Toy compared to this Sound Monster. Topping is only 2D Sound (: I highly recommend this Amp, for me the best Buy of the past 10 Years ***** Fast Shipping, everything just PERFECT *****
MJDelmar January 22, 2025
It's been working for 5 hours already and it's already a great experience. Whether with the Meze Elite headphones (fantastic and by far the best headphones I own) but also the Focal Stellia (which I have to wear at night to avoid not bother)... And yet the stellia is a difficult, even brutal, headphone, but it sounds much better with Holo Bliss.
Michel January 22, 2025
A substantial improvement was felt after the first 24 hours of continuous operation. The bass area has improved and the detail here is already much bigger and deeper. Now it's probably close to 100 hours of burn-in and I can judge at its true value. The improvement has exceeded my expectations. Not in the "small" area, on the contrary ! It's so big
