After that, I tried the R2R 11 with a variety of headphones, including the Focal Utopias, Massdrop Focal Elex, Massdrop Sennheiser HD6XX, HiFiMan Sundaras, Brainwavz Alara, MrSpeakers Ethers and various IEMs. I left the R2R 11 on for a couple of weeks to ensure it got a good 250 hours of use before doing any serious listening. While the spare feet are easy enough to attach, installing the spare LED requires prying off the liberally applied glue from inside the front face plate, then gluing (or maybe just blu-tacking) the new LED in place. Inside the box, along with the power cord, was a small bag with spare feet, spare jumpers (for internal settings) and a spare LED. The other, “Fixed” output mode, for using the R2R 11 as a direct DAC, needs to be enabled by opening up the unit and moving a jumper over one pin. As well as the usual USB, coax and optical digital inputs (the former accepting up to 384K PCM and DSD256 - useful for those who like to up-sample), front switches allow the selection of two gain modes and headphone or pre-amp output mode. The Schiit products, of course, use wall warts. If one were to stick a Schiit Audio Magni 3 and Modi Multibit on top, the remaining space neatly equates to about the amount that is used inside for the power supplies. The R2R 11 comes in a single box which takes up about 18x26cm of space.
