What is the reason for his infamy? I have felt this reaction from others but could not find context. I saw his posts arguing with many ppl on DIY...
@Beefy Would it be possible share some pics about your integration? Are you using external clocks. I really wanted to use these. They are out of...
Not likely this year. This year i'll be using the sowter output transformers that Douma (DDDAC's creator) recommends.
Yes that is what I will eventually migrate to. WaveIO does not need any soldering and configuration. That would help me setup a testing rig for...
One of my goals this year is to create a Digital frontend for other Dacs to give the best possible clocking and re-clocking.
What I'm most excited about are the TWMC DRIXO clocks which are considered the most SoTA clocks. I will have them with 5/6 MHz base frequencies...
And finally one of my personally awaited testing. Impact of clocks. I am currently using SC-Pure square wave clocks which honestly are great....
Next would be the biggest project for year, the DDDAC mk3(dac) fully loaded. I am very hopeful for this one. This is really supposed to have great...
Another short coming is the USB to i2s interface. I'm currently using Amanero 384 combo usb interface. [ATTACH] Its a good interface to start...
Some thoughts about what's next over the next several months. First would be get put some bigger transformers in place of the current I/V stage...
Agreed this is no longer a streamer. It started as such and has now become a proper Dac platform. Not sure if I can change the title of the...
This DIY experience is very rewarding. I am actually getting to first hand understand how different components (in this case stages and power...
After: The Dac with passive I/V stage. [ATTACH] * The limit on photo size on this site is too restrictive IMO
Made one more change today. Replaced the active I/V stage OPA 861 with Ivan's passive transformer coupled I/V stage. The OPA861 Active I/V stage...
Initial listening impressions: This does not sound like a ESS dac. I might have a builders bias, but if i was in a blind test I could not have...
