Thanks for sharing your experience with DAC's John! Over the years I have played with a cheap DIY 4-chip TDA1543 design similar to the stuff on eBay as well as a more expensive Mhdt Constantine (TDA1545 I think). Can't say I was enamoured with the sound... I found the highs a bit too rolled off for my taste so happily went back to the Transporter sound.
Wondering if there was a commercially available NOS DAC you think represents a good design. I don't have time anymore to fool around with DIY's. As for the slow roll-off filter, any opinions on the Transporter's AK4396 slow-roll vs. standard filter? -- Archimago ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93483 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
