Is anybody interested in purchasing one of these??
I have one of these in my system- and I am using UTC A-20's. The L/R coupling caps were removed- and the transformers are wired right to the dac pins. It sounds great, but it's just a bit too "tweaky" for my taste.
I know it sounds contradictory to say this on diyaudio.com, but I'd rather be listening than tweaking.
You'll get the dac with the transformer- and the A-20's.
Let me know if any of you are interested.
Thanks

Who knows the minimum DC-resistanceload the DAC can handle?
My monacor trafo's are 150 Ohm DC, with the 2 x 47 Ohm I'm at 244 Ohm.
I'd like to go lower but how low can we go?
The optimum source impedance of the monacor is 50 Ohm.
This is possible with a parallel R of about 100 Ohm, but I am not going to try that!!
Without Resitors the DAC sees 150 Ohm, will that be enough??
I know the datasheet says 1k, but as stated before I think the optimum values for the trafo are more important then for the DAC,
unless it breaks down...

I lowered the seriesresistance from 2 x 220 to 2X 47 ohm.
Maybee I shouldnin go lower than 2x560 ohm with the LL1517,as they are 9 ohms.My monacor trafo's are 150 Ohm DC, with the 2 x 47 Ohm I'm at 244 Ohm.
May I dare to try around 200 ohms..
I know they are bigger, but i don't want to make a new DAC box just because of that... I'll squezze them in there somehow, even if i have to split them in half
But jokes aside, what if I put them vertically ??? Height is not the problem, I can live with a little hole on the top cover...
Do you know approximate dimensions at least, how much bigger compared to Monacor LTR-110??
I saw it on ebay a while ago with dimensions in description but can't find it anymore

Yep, same here, it's a strange buzz-off noise but i shut down amp first, or both in the same time...I get a weird sound when I turn the DAC of when using the trafos,guess its because there no muting..anyone else get this sound?

Of course, they are the caps discarging! Just mount a muting circuite (you can recycle the relais unused on the trafo)
Yes,or do like ch33ta.Yep, same here, it's a strange buzz-off noise but i shut down amp first, or both in the same time...
