Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] What outboard DAC do you use with Squeezebox?
I have connected my SB2 to a kit from analog metric. This kit uses a very old dac, the TDA1541A. I am used to the sound of this dac as my cd player (Philips CD880) has the same dac, and I like the sound of it. As case I used an old philips cd player, took out all stuf and managed to build the new dac inside.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Touch V Classic Digital Output
I really cannot understand how 2 digital outputs can differ in a way that you can hear the difference. I know that jitter is an issue, but until now nobody could tell me how jitter sounds. How does a dac sound if the digital signal is bad? You hear maybe clics or pops, maybe you hear just silence. But when the signal is good, I do not think that there is any real difference between two transports. -- Amauta SqueezeboxServer 7.5.1 on Qnap TS-119. 3x Squeezebox2, 1 Squeezebox Classic, 2x BOOM - excellent sound!, One little RED Radio 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/Squeezebox_II/) Amauta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80557 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: where to buy 1748KE DAC
If you ask me, with my "silver" ears, i could hear some difference. My english is not good enough to describe it. I would say there is more air around the instruments. For more detailed information please search on the forums. I also did the power supply "mod" and removed the opamp. The opamp was a big difference, wider, clearer sound. But now with all 3 mod's together, comparing with the original box of my neighbour, I can say that there is so much better sound, for so little cost. -- Amauta Amauta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22442 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: where to buy 1748KE DAC
For anyone who has the guts to try, this is how I did it, two times succesfully: To remove the old dac first add solder on both sides of the dac. Next heat up one side and carefully pull up the dac a little. Do the same on the other side and so on until you can remove the dac. Do not use force, that will destroy the pads on the motherboard. When the dac is removed, clean the pads with solder wick (see picture). Place the new dac exactly on the motherboard and when in place ad some solder on one or two pinns at one side. Now take a close look to be sure the dac is in place. If so, ad solder on both sides of the dac. It doesn't matter if the solder is shorten all pinns. Now remove the solder between the pinns with the Solder Wick. If done check and double check that everything is ok and that there is no connection between the pinns. Also be carefull not to heaten up the dac too much! +---+ |Filename: sb1748ke.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1107| +---+ -- Amauta Amauta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22442 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
