Im looking to buy some high quality dacs

like 24bit burr brown or what if anybody can recommend anything else of high quality. i have a little bit of money to burn... i figure i can spend in the 50-75€ range. or maybe more if its worth it...

or if anybody can make some reccomendations as well on oversampling vs not.

thanks, martin

for 75 EUR you won't even get the main parts for an DIY 24bit high quality dac

ok, then how much do i need to spend? i figured this is how much I would designate to this part. but if it needs to be more, no biggie.

any reccomendations?

Decide on digital input type you want (I2S/SPDIF/USB) to Burr-Brown PCM1704 to IV stage (Passive Resistor or OPA627 OpAmp or MAX436 Transconducxtance stage or even discrete) to LCR bessel filter and finally an output buffer.Run the whole thing off batteries and build it on a grid board.

A close call in price but can be done

spdif or optical. input

CS8414 receiver chip from Cirrus

Don't forget a DF1704 digital filter. The PCM1704 is a mono chip, it needs the filter.
