Revopod footers for Reference and Select DAC

Do any of our Reference or Select DAC users have experience with Arya Audio Labs Revopod footers as a performance “upgrade” from the stock MSB footers?

This is not an inexpensive experiment given the need for three sets of 4 Revopods (12 pieces in total) for a Reference DAC with Reference Digital Director setup.

These look pretty cool! Seems very compatible with our products too. Let us know what you find out if you give them a shot.

They do look well made, and are aesthetically pleasing.

I was concerned that the diameter was too big to fit to my Premier DAC.

BTW, what is the official thread size to use?

Our product uses a M6x1 thread for the feet.

Good day, I’m looking to getting Revopods for my MSB Discrete DAC. What thread is used on this DAC?

Also, where would I find instructions on how to safely remove the present Viton feet, to replace them with the Revopods?

Thanks.

There is actually a video on YouTube about taking the feet off. Look for the MSB channel on YouTube. Thread size M6 was just mentioned above.

The foot thread on the Discrete and Premier series product is M6x1.
Here’s an older, but still relevant, video for removing the viton feet. Premier and Discrete are the first instructions in the video.

Many thanks.

Roughly $415 per set of 4 for the minis, with M6 adapters. Shipping from UK, and includes VAT. Wonder if a US dealer can do better.

I am not sure the bigger version would fit on the bottom of my premier - the undercarriage extends below the level of the foot mounting, and is pretty close. The mini looks to fit about right, and the outside shell is Delrin, and would not scratch the unit below if you stack them.

Thank you for the heads-up. I had a look again at the positioning of the Viton feet on my Discrete. The full size Revopods won’t work, they will stick out on the sides, front and back.

Not related but if anyone comes across feet (other than Iso Acoustic GAIA Titan) that would work on Estelon Forzas please PM me. I wanted to buy the GAIA Titan Neo but 2 years after being announced they are still not available so …

We have a pair of revopods here at the office. Want me to try and find a discrete chassis and send a picture of how they fit?

Yes, please. That would be great Kevin. Thank you so much :folded_hands:t2: I look forward to seeing the pics

They are definitely big and stick out past the edges of the DAC. I wouldn’t say they are a no go, but it certainly gives it a look.

Thank you very much Kevin for reverting back to me on this with the pics. The Revopods sticking out like that past the edges may be a problem for me. I will think about it. But actually seeing them on demonstration helps me to decide. :+1:

Perhaps Kevin the Revopod minis? They are 25.5 mm in diameter. Would that fit properly?

Pity this doesn’t work for the Discrete.

25.5mm should fit well. The standard mini viton feet that currently ship on the Discrete DAC are 24.7mm in diameter and they are slightly recessed under the unit.

Thank you :+1:t2:

I’ll probably end up with the minis at some point. I don’t need the leveling functionality of the big ones.

I’ll likely start one at a time, starting with the Premier DAC, the PSU, and complete with the DD.
