AudioSector-chip amp kits, dacs, chassis

[-=Zepplock=-]

i went thru 30 pages out of 76 and couldn't find any pricing on nos DAC kit. What versions are available?

I would also like to use optical input instead of the one used in the kit.

What changes should I make and how would this affect the price?

Thank you Peter.

Hi Peter,

have you thought of building a balanced output DAC for us guys with Pass Labs gear? This might be a nice DAC for the xBOSOZ.

Thanks,

Yes, I'm actually thinking about implementing balanced outputs on a DAC. That would require additional DAC chip and phase reversing on data line feeding it. But it's hard to say when this becomes available.

Wow, that's cheap compared to Plitron! Have you tried one? I've been wanting to build a 6 channel amp for my active setup, but the cost of the transformers has been holding me back.

Peter, I have a basic question about how to tie together the primaries for a toroid.

My 300VA toroids for your LM4780 arrived today. The primaries are 115-0, 115-0 and the secondaries are 25-0, 25-0. Our voltage is 230volts, so does that mean I have to tie the 115 from one group to the 0 of the other group, and do the same for both, then connect my supply from the wall to them?

[Peter Daniel]

Here's a schematic supplied by Plitron, you should be able to figure out the connections for your transformers from that as well.

You should observe proper phase on the wires (marked with a dot on Plitron drawing)

Thanks Peter. Just to reconfirm, I have to tie the white 115 to the brown 0, and apply voltage to the black and orange? Sorry, I am not good at this. My torroid cables are of different color coding but I believe they correspond to the above.

[Peter Daniel]

There are two primaries on each transformer with ends marked 0 and 115. You connect them in series (115 connects with 0). The primaries of both transformers configured in such way are then connected in parallel and plug into 230V outlet.

Peter, this is what I did, and the results I got. Please comment:

Blu (0v) . -----||------. Blk (0)


Grey (115v) ------||------ (25v) Red


Vio (0v). ------||------. Orange (0)


Brn (115v) ------|| ------(25v) Yellow


I tied Grey and Vio together and applied Live 240V to Brn and Neutral to Blu. I measured the primaries and they were giving 28.5V across Red/Blk and the same for Yellow / orange. Is this voltage too high for the LM4780 and did I wire it propperly?

Appreciate your reply b4 it is actually attached to the PSU and amp boards.

Regards.
