I have one of these 1x dacs (8412/1702) and I am not absolutely certain that its behaviour is not programme dependent.
It seems to prefer Lemon Jelly, Akasha and Peter Gabriel to anything else. Then again it is still only a prototype with crude resistor i/v stage.
But as these things are relatively easy to build especially the TDA1541/3 based ones and those who use them, both diy and commercial, rave about them I say put one together and see for yourself.

You should have a try.
Here in UK we can also obtain tda 1541 which is also cheap (Cricklewood Electronics), and appears to have better performance figures than the tda1543.
I have built this on Veroboard (matrix board with copper strips), and minimal wires between each small board. It does work, but I have taken it to pieces again because I am getting distortion in quiet passages. This may be because my construction method is too basic. |
