Nothing on the 300$ range?
How is the Opus DAC in comparision?

Increased the current, and the o/p voltage stayed steady and stable at 15V. There is no problem with setting the current too high, apart from the reg getting warmer, and as it's approaching winter here in the UK, you can have your B32 doubling as a local heater! By the way, if you are powering the B32 with just the LCDPS/LCBPS supplies, I personally feel that you are missing a good chunk of what this dac is capable of doing, musically. I've used both the Simplistic Salas Shunt (over at DIYAudio) and Paul Hynes shunts, and they provide a substantially better musical performance than a LM317/337 based supply. I've not tried the new TP placid shunts, but I would consider that they provide a similar improvement over the basic LCDPS/LCBPS, and they also appear to be very good value for money. |
A unity gain/buffer at the output would be ideal I thought. |

Ah. I was thinking about this: Introducing Ventus - diyAudio |
