Use the google translator. Same seller also has a 7220

Or get a cheap Marantz or Philips cd player of *bay with the TDA 1541 chip.
Plenty of them around and you have the waranty that they are original ones.

Looks like that's the route I'll take.
Have two marantz at home, cd-50 and cd-60(undergoing modifications), I'll see if I can bring my self to cannibalize the cd-50. Otherwise I'll get a few other players using thoose IC's.

Got a Squeezebox Classic for just shipping cost (about £6) from a very generous member on a swedish forum. This will handle PC audio alone until this dac is done. Then it'll be pc - SB - dac - amp.

For this DAC I was thinking of using the Valab 1ppm 11.2896Mhz TCXO.

Studiostevus:

How do you connect I2S from SB classic to TDA1541 DAC?

Mayday · 26th December 2011, 02:51 PM

Is there audible benefits to be had connecting the SB with eth-cable rather than using wireless?

Mayday · 27th December 2011, 07:39 PM

Got the Squeezebox today

Also I traded some pio caps and a tripath amp for two marantz cd-75 mkII.
One of which will be donating the TDA1541A and SAA7220P/B for this dac-project.
He also said he'd throw in some suitable tubes in case I want to use a tube output on the dac or one of the cd-players.

Not mine, but mine is identical.

Actually sounds better than I thought without external DAC.

Got this from ebay before I knew about the fakes. What do you think guys? Got it from seller diyaudiokit.
