dblab USB DAC based on
guzzler's rev.A board:
I had a Hammond case lying around from previous PPA projects, so I decided to use it for the DAC. I coupled the output Black Gate NX Hi-Qs with some
Angela/SCR 0.33uF tin foil caps. This coupling quite significantly brought out the mids and highs compared to BGs alone, and I'm very pleased with the results.
I currently have two amps connected from the DAC, I put three pairs of RCA outputs (paralleled) just because there was just enough space for three. I had the two amps previously connected with an RCA splitter, it should be better that the splitter is now eliminated from the chain.
All internal wiring is 22AWG teflon sleeved silver. Battery holder is Bulgin 4xAA tray type, and it's connected in parallel internally (2 x 3V).
Anyway, the DAC sounds excellent, a substantial improvement over my bypass/blackgate modded OptoPlay.
