I have one new unused PCB + transformer left as posted before. This is a very good analog sounding DAC. I doubt Pedja still sells the PCB but you can ask him.

Andrea (or anyone who knows):
I got one of the Tector transformers from the group buy awhile ago and am just getting around to completing my DAC (rev1.1b). I had a question regarding the primary color coding. There are two pairs of 115V primary windings; blue/black and white/brown. What is their phasing for North American use? I looked all over Tector's website and I could not find wiring/color code diagrams. I have all the secondaries figured out, but need to know how to parallel the primaries for 115V use. Thanks!
Chris
Before reading this post I thought I was very slow at building 😀
Anyway the wiring you found is right.
Ciao
Andrea
There aren't any left for sale other than the one in the post previous to yours. I'd recommend buying the transformer also if it can be brought back to 115V use (i.e., if the leads aren't cut too short).
You never know, there might be the odd board out there in the wild....
Seriously though, I think the 1.1b is a brilliant implementation of a 1541A dac, and I still very much enjoy mine along with my AYA.
Go for it!!!

Been busy on other things.
If anyone wishes to build this DAC: I have one virgin PCB with a TDA1541A and the transformer. I wired it for 230 V use. If you are interested make me an offer in a PM.
Hi !
Is it still available? Predicted shipping cost to Slovenia?
Best regards, Jernej

Interesting!

I have mine mostly completed, and was getting around to configuring the output stage. I have decided to use the buffer, and recall reading some stuff regarding R105/R109 and how to connect R111/114/115/118 if using the buffer, but of course I hadn't saved wherever I read this. Is this all present in the http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/group-buys/29604-tda1541a-non-o-s-dac-pcb-15.html thread? Or is there a document which discusses assembly and parts selection of the 1.1b in general (I know there are a few notes on the Word parts list .doc for the DAC)? Same for the reclocker board. I have parts lists, schematics, etc. for both, but nothing which really discusses the options present. Thanks for any insight.

Hi Chris,
It's all in Pedja's build manual.
Ping me an email and I'll send you a copy.
Cheers

I was looking at the Audial site last night as well.
Chris
And email sent. Actually, I was confusing the AYA manual!! But I've sent over some notes I culled from the thread at the time - should be some help.
Cheers

BTW, I've just installed TX2575 naked Vishays as I/V in my AYA. I'll be ordering a set for the 1.1b as well. Best $20 I've spent for a while.....

Hi Jon,
I just bought the extra PCB / transformer that Jean-Paul had and was wondering if I could get a copy of the build manual, if it is not too much trouble? Let me know...
Thanks, Daniel

I have some Caddock TF020s that I was going to use for this. Not quite up to the TX2575s, at least by reputation, but good nonetheless. Have you considered replacing any resistor that is in series with the output as well? (R105/109 if not using the buffer, R111/114/115 and 118 if buffer is in place)And email sent.

Hi Daniel,
Ping me an email and I'll reply with the info I have.
Chris,
I was using TF020s in the AYA and they sounded very nice. I changed some of the AYA resistors to Caddocks, but IIRC the 1.1b was pretty much stock apart from the I/V. I think I used Dales in the construction, but haven't had the chassis open for *some* time.
Best I pop the lid.......

I used Roederstein MK3s (where I could get them) and PRPs in mine. A couple of Dralorics as well. For some reason I chose 1.21K Caddocks for the I/V resistor... hope they are big enough.
1K21? Should get you just over 1.61V, if my mathematics is correct.....
Should work fine, but let us know!!!

Hi, This is a shot in the dark as a lot of time has passed... But does anybody still have a copy of the Pedja Rogic 1541A DAC REV 1.1b documentation? I was digging through my stuff and found the PCB and transformer that I bought for this project. Unfortunately, I can't find my documentation. Can anybody help?
Thanks, Daniel
Thanks, Daniel
Pedja is being mentioned in this thread...
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digi...any-good-tda1541a-dac-kit-91.html#post3902243
... and somebody contacted him very recently. So either maybe ask one of the chaps discussing in this thread or drop a mail to Pedja himself 😉
