Hi,
I am selling my overstock on TDA1541A/N2. They are original Philips HSH9804 11266 made in Taiwan. I have the original box with the Philips seals and stamps and they are guaranteed 100 % genuine.
I will let them go for 15 euro/piece ex shipping. I do not have unlimited stock, if you need them you can PM me.

Quantities have been sold to diyaudio members. For those who are still looking for them: I have about 50 pieces left. They sound pretty good and different from dutch production units from the early nineties.
1998 was the very last year the original chips were produced

Due to a deal that did not happen I have a larger number of TDA1541A 1998 version left. You can PM me for details/ordering. However, I will not send pictures and such. You will have to trust me that they are original etc.
Only one piece is 15 Euro, from 2 till xxx I charge 12,50/piece.
Besides that I have one ( 1 ) 1997 S2 dual crown TDA1541A for sale. Make me an offer.

There are still chips for those that search TDA1541A. Some quantities have gone to manufacturers of DACs and/or kits and they are very satisfied with the quality of the chips.
If you want the real deal you can send me a PM.

Hi Jean-Paul,
Is there any easy way to find out if this is the same, worse or better than the 1541A I already have?? I like this DAC but am not yet an expert on the many variations.
Thanks,
Simon

The easy way is to try one.
FWIW I can tell that they sound better than the older versions of the chip. It seems that the taiwanese production line used different/better materials because the Taiwan version do sound different/better than the dutch chips. This is entrirely subjective of course and you should not blindly believe what a seller says !
The only objective quality designation is the suffix behind the typenumber. Please check the datasheet for what N2 means.

Thanks Jean-Paul, I've checked and see what you refer to - a fractionally better guarantee of one particular specification.
Hi,
I would like to buy one of your N2 versions.
I live in Turkey, I'm posting this so that I can PM you later with my shipping details. As you know this forum doesn't allow you to PM anyone unless you post something. Another thing tho' How do I pay? Do you have a paypal account?
Cheers

jean-paul said:As said before: that does not say a thing about how they sound though.
You needn't tell me that 😉
I'm as subjectivist (and therefore foolish etc) as they come!
I'll take one, I'll e-mail you.
Simon
Merhaba Ersoy, I tried to mail you but it seems you did not get my mail. I have Paypal so there should not be a problem.
Selamlar,

Hi JP,
My chip arrived today, thanks! I'll try it later and report if it's any different to the one I have. Well packed.

Hi guys,
Been listening for a couple of days. There's a change for the better, but it is quite subtle on my setup.
The top and bottom seem to be a bit more energetic and there's a bit more detail. I think it's slightly more dynamic too. No negatives to declare! Well worth the money for a little step forwards.

It's hard to say because I've messed the print up with super glue. It has fainter print than the N2 and doesn't say Taiwan.
