Yeeewh! finally gonna put my old ps2 to use.  Ill be conecting it to a Fiio e17 via toslink.     Question: When I insert a cd into the ps2 will it play automaticaly or will I need to have it hooked up to a screne aswell?

That makes perfect sence. Isn't it wonderful glee the world works out? Do what is the relation to capacitors and low frequencies? ie very low and deep bass. Will larger capacitors discharge more current to drive deep low frequencies? How could I get a bit more low end in theory?

All that is very interesting.  One of my motivations for building this was to learn some circut theory and what not(being a 3rd yeach ME wondering why he isnt an EE)   So Im wondering if someone could give me the reason to add Capacitors C3a and C5a(.22uf at 250v)  in parallel with the 470uf...

awesome thanks. So how does the pin numbering correspond to the numbering on the schematic? why isn't pin 9 specified in the diagram?

alright one last question and it's about the tube socket wiring... I'm using 12au7 tubes which have a nine pin configuration and am using the modified plans by the equalizer which I am sure you are all familiar with. my question is m the tubes for this have nine pins while the diagram only...

Thanks for the help guys its coming along nicely.  I had to switch most of the caps from 63 to 100v as that is what my local surplus electronics shop, HSC, had on the shelves and could only find an 100k stereo POT as opposed to the 50k Pot specified in the diagram.   SO I am wondering what...

Any love for  audiotechnica ws77's?  They are great for the price however the subbass is a bit lacking so if your looking to bump some old school uk filth, you may be sad.   however! house music sounds fantastic with them especially paired with my fiio e17.    headphones are great for...

Dumb question. How do i ground this? Like I have a capacitor going to ground

this is fantastic.  I can only hope mine turns out this well.  nicely done

I mean Ill just post here to say I love mine.     This is my first DAC and greatly augments my listening exprence.   Pretty powerful equelizer aswell.  Its fun to plug this into an auxilary cord in a car play the music then start cranking up the EQ to freak out your friends

So very ammatureish question, But I am indeed an amature.     So I will be using a proto board like the one above however there are no strips.   The boards I have are literally just a bunch of independent holes I can solder to.  SO I guess this means I will have to run a wire from each...

How's It going guys?  So I have recently embarked on this project and am stoked to see how it will turn out.  Having recently finished the one and only circuits class I will ever need to take, I am not the most astute electrical engineer, but one of the reasons I started this project was to...
