Hi Mark,
They're TF020's , others I tried are Riken, Caddock MK132, Vishay S102, a few cheap ones was Dale RN60, Wellwyn RC55 (did not like the RC55)
The TF020's are pretty transparent and not bad priced
Just had a look at the datasheet, it seems their not classed as nude types
Cheers,
Leo

Hello IanWould you like to use mine to try it Mark?
Nice to see you here again. I have prepared the list of resistors for the DAS-R1 analogue stage and will be starting by testing between 2-4 signal resistors to perceive the changes compared to the existing Carbon type. Despite the fact that on paper Carbon resistors are nosier than other types, the higher quality Japanese type’s sound very good.
If you are interested in the TX2575 for your DAS-R1 the upgrades could be arranged for your DAC once I have established performance, quantities and pricing.
Before embarking on the TX2575 route I fiercely recommend a Bybee purifier upgrade. The Bybee purifiers have served to take the DAS-R1 to new heights and have vastly improved all areas of sound well beyond expectation. The Bybee's have currently been installed for the AC input, secondary transformer supplies, +/- 15V analogue supplies, analogue output.
Best Regards,

If you like carbons Mark the Rikens are pretty good, unfortunately I think they maybe now discontinued
It seems a lot of the decent parts that are not ROHS complient are being dropped
Bybees, hmm, never tried those in anything yet, I've a lot about them

Leo, I fiercely recommend you try the Bybee purifiers; they are an essential part of getting the best from digital and very effective in phono stages, amplification & loudspeakers. Ideally, start with one on the digital input of your DAC.

Does anyone know what's inside a Bybee purifier ?

I found this "useful" piece of information whilst researching the Bybee device.
Quote-I actually use one with my toaster. I was having problems with evenly toasted bread. The quantum purifier resulted in a perfectly toasted slice every time regardless to whether it is a thick or thin slice, one slice or two, or even what the light/dark adjustment is set to.

And this snippett !
"And there's nothing superconducting at all about the Quantum Purifiers. Inside of them is a conventional 0.02 ohm metal film resistor and the devices measure... 0.02 ohms."

Warning signs are there - no self introduction in the welcome area. A brief pm exchange with me which turned out to be useful, contents of which stay private as is good form but the existance of such exchange itself completes the picture of this guy and his intentions here.
Promachos, we need a genuine intro in the welcome area as we need to eliminate the possibility of trolling.
