Hey Sckramer, cool man! A single chip version :-). I guess ya gotta save on the power usage with batteries. Well, I do have a 4-chip TDA1543 I measured awhile back (bought for $60 on eBay): http://archimago.blogspot.ca/2013/02/measurements-muse-mini-tda1543x4-nos.html I'm not a fan of the NOS sound. I think some folks like them for sounding "pleasant" with the dip in high frequency response. There's also the issue of aliasing distortion. I'm tempted to check out the filter characteristics of that DAC again since those measurements were made many years back. These old chips are supposedly of poor linearity hence the use in multiple parallel configuration to improve accuracy of the conversion.
