Posted 26th March 2013 at 05:24 PM by dvb projekt
Updated 26th March 2013 at 05:27 PM by dvb projekt
Well my friends it is time again to say thanks to all of you, who like and ordered my pcb´s.

Because i am no developer of electronic circuits but have the knowledge to design pcb´s,
i wanted to give something back to the community.

Since i started with my 1st pcb, the Optical-Volume-Control on 15th October 2009,
a small donation from every sold pcb goes to diyaudio.com

Today i am proud to say that your cumulated donation achieve

$ 3104

Keep on having fun with my pcb´s and best regards

Oliver

The best sounding I/V resistor

Posted 3rd March 2013 at 10:22 AM by dvb projekt
Updated 30th November 2016 at 09:17 AM by dvb projekt
As many of you know, i am using the Texas Components TX2575 Bulk Z-Foil resistor for a long time
in important circuit positions, especially as I/V resistor.

Recently i stumbled over a short recommendation from Thorsten Loesch.

In susequent builds I compared to Rohpoint (which I have used extensively and found no reason to handwind resistors.

In my commercial designs we use a specfic type of SMD resistors after auditioning tons.
Some SMD resistors are really bad, some are so-so and some are most excellent, though no patch for a Rohpoint Squaristor GR102.

Ciao T

Because i know Thorsten as a man who had the perfect sound in mind,
i ordered one pair 30R to try them in my Tube-I-zator.

Updated 30th November 2016 at 10:21 AM by dvb projekt
The Red Baron
V4.0

The evolution brings the following changes

- Separate I2S-GND route to Digital-GND
- Separate Analog Output GND route
- Separate GND route for active divider decoupling caps to Analog-GND
- Modified active divider decoupling pads for better SMD 1210 caps soldering
- Onboard SOT353 footprint for fastest DEM-Synchronizer IC´s
- Un-interrupted ground plane
- MOSFET Source/Drain failure corrected


Still on the module

- Direct shunt voltage inputs with shortest onboard traces
- I2S In-/Outputs with shortest onboard traces
- I2S Attenuator and DEM Synchronizer
(by -ecdesigns-)
- Onboard Grounded-Gate MOSFET Current Buffer I/V Stage
(-ecdesigns- MK7 version)
- Separate GND-Trace for DEM-Synchroinizer
- Master/Slave

Ceasar II 300B SE mono block upgrade Part #2

Posted 24th July 2012 at 06:01 PM by dvb projekt
Updated 13th November 2015 at 10:41 AM by dvb projekt (New photo source)
A short quick upgrade for my Ceasar II Mono´s
to push the sq to the limit...


In the meantime...

As you could see in the Upgrade Part #1, the printing of the Sophia Electric Royal Princess 300B
is 90 degrees different to the Emission Labs 300B-XLS.

Not a big thing, but it´s not looking good!


Unfortunately i have only two holes for the Tube-Socket. Therefore i made two small adapter to rotate the Tube-Socket.

Now the printing faces to the front!
