Hi all,
I've been looking for a budget NOS DAC 'cos everyone should try one, right?
Came across the SPS DAC 3 and have been encouraged by the largely positive impressions here, accepting that a NOS DAC is what it is. Well, one thing led to another and I've gone and pulled le trigger. Le pew pew!
It will be hooked up to a Raspberry Pi with Allo DigiOne HAT, serving up over SPDIF coaxial. It will be interesting to see how it performs with a very low-jitter input signal.
Any thoughts on how it might perform powered either by an Anker power core 5v into micro USB vs. a 15v low-noise SMPS i.e. iFi iPower? If it's in battery buffer mode then it should make little difference, I guess, in theory...
