DAC AD1862: Almost THT, I2S input, NOS, R-2R

[Brijac]

With a proper quality transformer with blind winding between primary amd secondary, and with magnetic shield, it shouldn't be as critical. BUT, properly done toroids are scarce so i'd follow the advice above. We are lucky there are amazing toroids from Trafomatic here in Serbia.

Has anyone done any tests to see how distortion varies with the value of Riv for the ad1862?

Friends, I'm studying hard the thread.
Naive question: is there a way to make only one build, and make the dac switchable between ad1862 and tda1541 simultaneous mode?

Really my wife is going to kick me out if I build 2 enclosures this time

Nope .

Each DAC chip has it’s own specific needs for a successful build.

So I am going to build twice 😄

with all the various power supplies for each DAC ...... and their transformers.... your single chassis will be as big as two smaller chassis

Hey colleagues, please show me some lineage!!! Of how your CD players, TVs, raspberries and Nas are plugged to this wonderful dac via USB, spdif, coax!!!
Trying to figure out how to put it ad good use apart from my old CD player!

PS. I've a qobuz sub now, I'd like to use that with this dac!
