Nice little heat sink:

MPJA, Inc.

what project is that going into? the DAC, or a new jfet-zen preamp

 

[DaveM]

If the dac makes that much heat, that would be new to me. That is definitely for an amp. A couple of those and you can make all sorts of nice class A goodies.

I just bought 4 of these for whatever comes up...

What does the LED in the Aleph 4 indicate ?. Is it simply POWER or does it indicate CLIPPING ?

 

[Nelson Pass]

Power.

Stimulated by the bracing sea air, I wrote the article for the
Zen I/V Converter last week. It is in the hands
of management at DIYAudio.

 

[Melon Head]

Sounds Good

 

[Variac]

Arrgh! Thanks Nelson

The pressure builds!
He's off the hook, but now I'm on it!

I have a feeling that Papa has another classic on his hands here.
Maybe the DAC manufacturer didn't appreciate the original but we will.
And a circuit board is hardly necessary.

We need to have more "contests" like this.

[Melon Head]

Yes.
Hurry up

Thanks very much - sounds good (so to speak).

I still can't manage to subscribe to Jan's new hard copy magazine, but then me and paypal never did get along.

PS. Nelson, speaking of bracing sea air, my brother lives down the coast a little bit at Muir Beach, and I get to visit him and get braced myself from time to time.

Go to the "Articles" area by clicking "Articles" in the band across the top of each page..

 

[carpenter]

I just read the I/V article and found it informative and interesting. I'm left with a simple question: How do I apply this device to a CD player?

 

[Zen Mod]

I just ....... ?

same as D1

easy peasy

it's harder to make those Fugly! wooden cases

 

[Tea-Bag]

pull from dac out, bypass op-amp I thought, direct out.

 

[carpenter]

Is "direct out" available as a port, or do we have to dive inside the chassis? I can't believe the engineers didn't take Nelson seriously--my god, we could have been listening to pure silk a decade ago.
