Yes, it is true. My ex-girlfriend is piano player. I am going to invite her.I think that is not hard to find a musician in Vienna...
My pre-amplifier case has a lot of space. I am going to put inside, transformers, HDAMs and the Bronskie cathode follower and make a switch for A-B-C test.
so 5 days of burn in is done, HDAM modules compared against OP01 and everything I can say is simple.............I would be repeating myself how amazing those HDAM modules are so I'll be more than happy if someone else could buy it and test it otherwise I will look like an idiot who can hear weird stuff
p.s. I'm screwing in top cover means this does not need any additional touches and I won't do any other upgrade, it's finished and I'd like to thanks to all of you who helped
Hi all!
my dac is the following:
Finished AK4399 AK4113 DAC Decoder 192K Software Control in Case by Weiliang | eBay
I am using it with a gainclone lm3875 without dc protection circuit or input capacitors.
I decided to replace the ADA4627 (which had already replaced the stock opamps) with the hdam opamps bought from youbuy.
The first impression was very good but i realized that a weird hum appeared when I turned the amp volume up (without listening to music). Believing that it was a gainclone issue, I started searching what was wrong with my gainclone's grounding etc.
After many hours I realized that with the new hdam opamps my woofers were moving back and front when I changed the volume. My knowledge is not deep but I was told that this is a sign of dc offset.
I changed the opamps immediatelty, now back to ADA4627 and everything is fine. Zero hum and the woofers don't move when I change the volume.
Maybe I am the only unlucky here, but it was impossible to keep using the hdam opamps.
Hi Tuxx,
I think that the reason is DC offset. You should disconnect your amplifier, then adjust 0 DC on output of the HDAM modules using potentiometer on the HDAM modules.
I also have power amplifier without capacitors in signal path and everything is fine when I use the HDAM modules.

tuxx: can you let us know how is grounding of this DAC made? I had similar issue due to missing grounding from the main voltage socket, in my AKM DAC I had to even connect PCB separately as the chassis did not pass the grounding properly to the board, I wouldn't be curios if there isn't any grounding or it's not connected properly to the board which is common issue with these Chinese DACs...
Altec 15335A is 15k:15k 1:1 transformer which has very high impedance in my opinion. Transformer users at V-out dac outputs generally recommending 600:600 1:1 type line output transformers.
Hi Terranigma, which transformer do you recommend?
Hi Sunsun: did you changed only those 2 at top of the HDAM?
I also changed the input jfets to K170 (Idss 3.7 matched pair) and tied them with a nylon strip. As K170 has a reverse pinout than K30A, I soldered them on the other side of the PCB.
The K170/J74 pair have Idss of 6

There are many options from many different manufacturers like Jensen, Cinemag, Haufe, Lundahl, Sowter etc. I'm not yet to able to install one of them but you can find many reviews from others in forum.
