#1 Another DIY DAC option...

Post by Dave the bass »

Dunno if anyone here partakes in a magazine called "Everyday Practical Electronics" but this month they're doing a feature on a DIY 'High Quality Stereo DAC'.

24bit 96Khz. Optical and Coaxial inputs, remote switchable. The chips used are a DIR9001 and a DSD1796 (it says).

Thought some of the DIY Digital fellas here might be interested in it.

Sounds interesting. Are there any details about the DAC online available?

It seems that they wait for two months before putting stuff online.
Suppose they wouldn't sell the mags otherwise.
Just have to keep an eye open for it.
Much to learn there is.

After a bit of digging about it appears that this DSD 1796 project was 1st published in Australian 'Silicon Chip' magazine in 2009. There's a few threads on the web knocking about covering it and various mods folk have done to it.
