Will do, but if I don't - what could happen?/M
What did you end up trying w/ the dac? I see the tube stage is FS on diyaudio...
Where did you get the chip?
Hey! jema, that is brilliant using Ikea metal bowl to cover the transfromer! I will keep that in mind if you don't mind Take care,Buddy
eBay.
Ah. Thanks for the heads up. Can you post a link for the ebay seller? What does it say on the bottom of the 'fake' chip? Beautiful enclosure!
Nothing, it's clean.Sure; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/connectors-usa
As for your resistor value question, I didn't hear much difference between 330R and 1.5k except for increase in volume. So if 240ohms is loud enough for you, you're okay. But then maybe with a 'real' chip this may change, so you may want to experiment to be sure.
I google'd it a bit. Some say DAC zero by Audio Note use 300 ohm, some say 330 ohm, and one page said that DAC one uses 1kohm.At multiple sites I've read that you need to go beyond 500 ohm to get an acceptable THD level. Whatever that means.I ordered a set of (very cheap) resistors, just to compare the resistance. When I'll settle for one resistance, I'll try different types of resistors, as carbon composite / wire wounded / tantalum etc...Do anyone know exactly what capacitors on the Raindraop-board that is used for power supply of the AD1865-chip? I swopped a couple, but I think more is involved and also, it's beginning to cost money. The large 470µF OS-CONS are $20 each.Have anyone tried adding a C-R-C filter to the PS?
But I am sure those were not made by dwarves in the halls of mordore.
