My RAKK DAC is working

DougL · 3rd March 2007, 06:03 AM

I built a RAKK DAC with the power supply and a passive I/V converter.

I fired it up tonight. It works.
Review later.

The kits were excellent, Kevin was a joy to do business with, and the documentation was clear and concise.

A great experience. Next Step: Get it out of the Rat Shack plastic box and into a proper chassis.

Awesome. Please post your impressions of how it sounds sometime. Did you go with the passive output stage?

I actually used a "lesser" ( M6) 600:10k inter-stage transformers that I had on hand and a 1k generic 1/4 W Metal film resistor.

Since I have only 45 Min on it, all I can say is it sounds promising.
I will have a better Idea after I put some time on the box.
Not much of a hardship.
