A musical DAC please!!!

[grigore]

I just want to build myself a simple but musical dac. Does not matter what chip dac is involved.

Please anyone who made something like this to send to me the schematics and even more important, the PCB schematics. I'm a DIY-er guy but I don't have any experience in designing any PCB but I think I have to start learning.

Please tell me what softwer for designing PCB schematics is easear to learn, if anyone have experience with these kind of softwers.

Thanks a lot!!!

If this look too complicated then you should by commercial dac kit.

If you want to skip the software control, I've had very good results from the WM8524.

He he he... the IPod DAC.... Just buy a IPod, and you have a "musical DAC/music system"....

Yes, I know man! Very funny indeed!!!

I love you guys!

Nothing wrong with the IPod's DAC. Compared with the compressed formats that are played on it, you can say it's overkill

I can't tell if there is sarcasm floating around...

But I know of some who spend almost 1k on an iMod setup (with the highest-end earphone/headphone, amps and stuff) and zero on a non-portable source.

It is ok, sarcasm is good. Sarcasm keep us in a state of awarness!

In fact, I just want to build a simple but musical DAC but I'm not in the mood to project my-self all the stuff. Otherwise, I have in my sistem a musical dac, an Audionemesis DC1, wich is very good for me.

There is nothing forcing anyone to play compressed formats on an iPod, one could just fill it with AIFF or wav files like I do.
The iPods weak point are those ear buds that come with it. They are truly miserable.
