Balanced PCM1704 PCB

[hifimaker]

Has anyone tried using a single 1794 with it's balanced outputs connected to a Pass I/V stage?

Has anyone made any progress on designing a balanced output DAC?

Just curious where the project stands.

Russ and Twisted Pear have already done some great designs and this is looking good.

Cut and paste never seems to work right.

Instead of waiting for someone else to design a differential 1704 DAC for you, why don’t you do it yourself? Isn’t that what diyAudio is all about?

Here is a layout idea for four 1704 DACs arranged as differential pairs using through-hole components. It is compact and symmetrical. I did it in about an hour using the free software from ExpressPCB. Four boards with silkscreen and solder mask would cost $179. Three boards without the frills would be $51. Because ExpressPCB doesn’t do bottom side silkscreen, the component outlines are all on the top surface and overlap each other. It’s a bit of a puzzle to figure out which parts go on the top, which go on the bottom, and in what assembly order to make everything go together.

So one answer to this old, but certainly very interesting thread would be the HB-DAC1704 from Borbely Audio?
in which direction did all those design ideas go?
Any update?
