Hi,

for my alien dac I am missing an opa551 or a buf634. They are virtual inaccessible in Germany, perhaps in whole Europe

Or I am just unable to get them.

Does anyone got a source for them (not located in America, Asia or Antarctica)?

Alternatively I would start some European group buy ... Any interest?

I just wanted to start soldering next week (you know you leave everything lying around for ages just to find out in the moment you start soldering that a critical part is missing).

Thanks

AMB audio shop
Look at the bottom of the page. OPA551 $3.80.

Why can't you use just any opamp?

RS components carry the BUF634 but it's out of stock, the DIL model is available at futurlec.com if your desperate.
I would check on TI's website for other European suppliers (search by part number, find the one you want and click "purchase samples")

Alien DAC needs the SOIC-8 version.

Why not power the AlienDAC from USB or external power source, then you can skip the buffer.

I might have one in my parts bin, a leftover from a PIMETA. Let me check tomorrow and I'll PM you!

Thanks MASantos. I think it is easiest if i just place an digikey or mouser order and do not think about shipping costs. because getting a letter from portugal to germany during christmas time is probably not very speedy (something the europeean union put a little effort in

).

So if anyone is interested in some mouser or digikey stuff and wants it to be send from germany PM me.

Farnell have both, they have a .de site so you can avoid import duties and have cheaper, faster shipping.

Thanks for your hint Basil. Unfortunately Farnell Germany does only sell to companies or students - and they want a verification. And I am none of both

Any German students around?

The parts situation in Germany is quite unpleasant. (I should start in that business

)

Im pretty sure I still have a BUF634 SOIC left over in my PPAS pile. PM me if you are interested, you can have it for free.
