Could you use a 12v SLA with this DAC?
I bought one of these for my DacIt, and it sounds MUCH better than the stock SMPS wallwart: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teralink-X2-X1-U9VA-Linear-Low-noise-Power-Supply-/260959402579?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc2647a53I suspect it might also work with this little DAC, and it is quite affordable. Shipping from Hong Kong was pretty fast (about a week to the midwest USA).Neil
So, wushuliu. Can you tell us more about what you think about this DAC? Thanks!
How would one enclose this? Is something like this suitable? : http://www.rfsupplier.com/aluminum-enclosure-case-433252094lwh-p-1065.htmlI'm not much of a DIY'er so don't know if a lot of work would need be done or could one just fit it into a prefabbed enclosure?
Thanks for the info celo, I wish he would put that in his ebay ad! I have written to him asking what he suggests, no answer yet. I have seen a pic of a similar mini dac mounted on a wood base on head-fi....can't find the pic again tho...
That looks really elegant. Where di d you source it?Found the page I saw, not really an ideal solution though: http://forums.audioreview.com/digital-domain-computer-audio/cheap-dac-working-well-36580.htmlIt's in post #10I also saw this: http://attitube.com/digital-sources/da-converter/He did a nice job, not sure where he got the box...
If anyone is looking for a new DAC, I urge you to try this one. I am using this DAC with the PURE i-20 ipod dock and the combo is amazing. This DAC seems to overcome the isues with NOS DACs of the past (poor dynamics, congested sound during complex passages, etc.) The sound is supremely natural. Not a trace of digital nasties. It sounds very much like analog. At the price, this is stupid great.
Any thoughts on how it compares to the i-20 inbuilt DAC?
