Hi Pinnocchio I have the weiliang 2 x ak4399 + ak4118 + hdam and I have the jlsound ak4396 + reclock option and upgraded double linear psu. In my case the cost to make jlosund dac is triple then the finisced weiliang.
But I like a little bit more the ak4399, I use the coax input in ak4399, the usb is bad in the weiliang dac.

Not this one, I had AK4399_XMOS on same board..

Anyway, problem with drivers is for every Chinese XMOS product, also do not have support for DSD..

Sound of this Chinese products can not be compared with jlsounds XMOS_AK4396 combination.. this is HiEnd product in technical terms, Chinese use the same or even more advanced chips but their implementation is very poor..

Yes I agree for xmos usb jlsound, it is high end product, not agree for the Pinnocchio comment in weiliang dac ak4399 vs the jlsound ak4396, just my opinion I Iike more the sound ak4118 ak4399 chinese board.
Xmos jlsound is fantastic.
Ot end

Hi Keres,

I have the dual AK4399 + 4118 and something is not totally right with it, yes it does sound pretty good but to me, pretty good does not cut it, especially not with the level of sound I'm used to with my other DACs.

It's ok you disagree with me, everyone has their own opinion and taste and I have nothing to say against this, it really is a personal opinion.

Ciao! :cheers:

Hi,

Joro,
Are you planning a new dac like AK4490 (single or dual) or anything else? that we could mate with your Xmos board? I already have the AK4396 and it really is good but would like to eventually see something that can output a full 2-2.5V.
Ciao!

There will be definitely a new AK4490 DAC.

J&L announced the board with AK4490, which was supposed to be ready by Christmas, this project with the AK4495 is obviously led to delays..

For a pity this is true and led to a delay.

But the opportunity which Mister Rogers gave me to work with a DAC, which I can't find anywhere, moreover the top one (for now) of Asahi Kasei DACs, on which I can't hide my passion, regarding their delta-sigma DACs, "pre-decided" on which project I want to work.

I have to tell you that significant part of the work on AK4490 is done.

I'll appreciate if you share how to be realized - for example: directly differential outputs to be on a pinheader and everyone to finish it or with embedded filters?

Thank you all for your good feedback 🙂

After the test and when the AK4495S dual mono is ready for production, we will open a new thread in commercial sector.

Regards,
Joro

It would be best to do both.. If not possible second option is better..

I really like how is solved analog output on AK4396 board.. many people bothers lower voltage, but to me it seems like a practical solution.. ideal to finally use somewhere LT1818..

I have yet to try the DAC with the LT1818 but can you describe the sound difference a little?

Thanks

Good news.

ak4490 seems a good DAC, specially with DSD.
