Hello everyone! Welcome to my BLOG. Seeing that most Blogs are boring as bat shit I decided to make mine even more boring to the average layperson and dedicate this to HI-FI. So lucky for u audiophiles out there! So first up I will be posting some pics and notes on me building a 24bit 192Khz DAC convertor for my Hi-fi. Truth be told the main assembly of the DAC PCB assembly has already been done by some poor Chinese man in Hong Kong, all I will be adding is a mains power transformer, casework and some modifications I have picked up from this good DIY audio website http://www.diyaudio.com/
This will be a part time project so posting will be infrequent...here are some pics of the DAC as it arrived from Hong Kong (thanks to Mako and Ebay)
Pic 1. DAC complete PCB assembly
Pic 2. Input and Output Detail
Pic 3. Power Supply Detail
Pic 4. IC details
Pic 5. Upconvertor Daugter Board
This unit uses a Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC (Pic.4 lower right) for u techheads out there which can handle 24bit 192khz SPDIF audio streams, using the optional plug in daughter board (Pic5). This unit can take standard SPDIF digital stream on optical, coaxial and USB 48khz also which is a bonus
So basically now I have to find a suitable power transformer to get this cranking...
