TechPowerUp: FiiO K11 R2R Desktop DAC/Headphone Amplifier Review
If you were curious about R2R DACs and wanted a taste without breaking the wallet, then the FiiO K11 R2R should be of interest to you. It builds upon the highly impressive K11 DAC/amp, including customizable LED indicators, a menu screen, plenty of power for most headphones and IEMs, and uses an in-house developed R2R DAC for a slight price increase.

eTeknix: AMD 7900X Retested – PBO, SMT & Overclocked
Last week, we brought you a review of the Ryzen 7 9700X, the latest release in a seemingly long line of rather boring new CPU launches that offer minor upgrades to existing products. In short, it's fair to say we weren't particularly impressed by the small increase in performance it offered over a range of benchmarks, but more so with the gaming performance.
