Putting together this dac from ebay, done all mods etc. but did not get a transformer with it. What size/rating do I need (uk voltage)? Any links would be helpful, thanks in advance

I was planning on bypassing the opamp (just tapping into the dac's - and - outputs for the l,r) and supplying the rest, myself. in that case I'd only need 5v for that. |

As well as asking the seller that you bought this from. I don't own one of these BTW. |

Easy to fix, but, gives one the impression that these weren't inspected at all. I don't get what people are doing to remove the opamp stage entirely - i mean, given that the output of the DAC is differential (aka balanced). |
