I may bow out at this point...
I'd prefer to keep my da-capo intact as it is in my opinion one of the best dac's ever sold.
Yeah input card and filter would have been fine for me but a whole new mainboard? If thats the plan I may suggest you'd be as well designing a case and selling a whole unit so people don't need a da-capo to use it....
Thanks for helping with all my questions....
Just out of interest when we likely to see a review of your new amp/transport?

Ordinal
Hello everyone !
Is it possible to have a user guide for the Ordinal DAC with 1307 Da-Capo filter ?
Specially the settings for all the jumpers.
Thanks a lot.
As you see in the attached image, it's not so difficult to change capacitors. I also add a little heatsink on each TDA1547 and a power supply switch.

1307 filter module
I'll try to translate from an italian review the meaning of the dip switches of the 1307 filter
( I'm not much into electronics/digitalstuff )
With S/H you chose if you want to sample the audio signal every 3 seconds, to verify the DC content.
If htis option i s not ON, the 1307 sample the DC leven only when swithced on.
If the S/H switch is ON, then the HPF ( high pass filter ) switch must be ON.
The 4th/3rd switch is for chosing the noise shaper.
The DITHER is for applying a dither in AC and DC to the audio signal.
Hope this helps.
Merry Chritmas to everybody.

Cordinal or Cardinal
Does this integrated "Cardinal" predate the da Capo?
My son has a "Cordinal" like that integrated and as far as I can recall no filter.
I hear what people are saying..a new year..
Nirvana may lie in the future - new board, new circuits?
Any eta, John W? An email?
On the other hand a bird in the hand...?
New hope for 2007!
Maybe I will get a floor to my listening room.
Best wishes

Hi Peter C,
Seems like you have an Ordinal PCB thats fitted within the Cardinal - (can you post a picture of the internals of the unit to confirm).
Anyway - if you see 2 rows of headers (one with 12 Pins and a second with 7 Pins), then yes you have a filter missing.
Try and source a HDCD or 22Bit Filter - these are the best - followed by the 24Bit filter.
Kind regards,
John

Clock on Cardinal & da Capo
I have just bought a da Capo which has four (4) BNC cards
and no clock interface. I have a clock interface on a PT Ordinal.
My question is:
Can I unplug the BNC interface and simply replace it with the clock from the Ordinal?
They look similar?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Alistair P.

I sent the filter..
