Thank you for the info Pavel. I have some more questions:
Where are the 7k5 resistors on the board?
So I reduce the value from 7k5 to 4k7 ?
Can I add the 10k:10K transformers before I change the resistors?
Are the 10k transformers drop in replacements and how should they be wired for RCA output.
I am still a beginner really so all help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Gordon
Hi Pavel. Thanks for your ongoing development work on this project; as an 'early adopter' of your V2.6 I know the guys now queueing up won't be disappointed.
Regarding the V2.5.2, would it be possible to add pads on the output section for the amorphous core Lundahl LL1684 transformers?

Regarding the possible group buy; have you considered having the boards commercially assembled? There are companies out there that will do small batches using your specified components.

Yes, it's already done.
I could not find a suitable one for the price. It turns out too expensive.
Yes, you're really in a hurry.
While I do not check the performance and sound quality of the new PCB, I can not assume sales obligations.
SingleEnded noise
Hello ppy.
I one of your previous posts you mentioned some sort of noise when the previous version of dac was used in single ended mode.
Is this still an issue of the current version?
Just to clarify : the 2.6.2 version is sort of a plug an play dac needing just the amanero and power?

Excellent news having the option of the LL1684 transformers Pavel - thank you.
I have a friend who has a reflow oven and lots of experience of assembling SMD PCBs so I'll probably get him to assemble a small batch of boards and if you are planning to make the Gerber files available I can order a solder paste mask to make it easier.
In the meantime, I'm just about to order some PCBs to try out isolation and a TP Cronus reclocker between the Amanero and my DSC2.

You’re talking about the Hermes replacement PCBs you’re cooking, right?
If you get extra boards, let me know - I’d like to get one to play with.
Pavel,
I thought I read somewhere (may be at CA)that the Amanero has to be flashed with a specific version of firmware when used with the DSC?
I understand that HQ Player is the most suitable converter (DSD being designed by Signalyst
). However other softwares for PCM to DSD conversion e.g. FB2K, Daphile, and JRiver will also work with this board, right? Thank you for answering my questions.
Regards,
In vain you are ironic. HQPlayer is really the best!
It is enough to compare once.
My rating of the program online converters known to me:
1. HQPayer (with a big lead ahead, true HI-End.)
2. Daphile (A good online sox transcoder, if you can start the system in UAC2 mode)
3. Asio Proxy (Resource-saving and free option for Windows)
99. Jriver (The most disgusting conversion of PCMtoDSD)
