Hi to all, 🙂
I need some help with this picture. Can someone tell me if this one is a dual mono build ?
The reason I'm asking that is because I'm just trying to clarify what to order for a dual mono build, I mean how many boards, that's why.
Thanks in advance
Nick

I've got a portable iFi iDSD Micro Headphone Amp - has anyone got one and how does it compare with the DCG3?
Thanks

Will salas BiB sslv1.1 power the preamp as well as the psu design in this thread? Need to decide before gb finishes

Yes.
Two powersupply boards, one preamp. board, and two transformers.

It had worked in a couple of beta builds sufficiently (connected in two wire mode). Also read post #79 about current demands and CCS settings.
Signed up and paid for the GB 🙂
Will take my time gathering some parts and building. Regarding potentiometer. Does anyone know if the muses 72320 electronic volume control can be used in this linestage?

*I have listened both to Aleph J and F5 on big multi-way speakers and I preferred the AJ for its better fleshed out tone and sweeter top end
Salas, what poweramp. you got on your'e main hifi?

Anything can be used. That chip seems like a 20K attenuator equivalent by the way?

No beta builders have that one as far as I know. Such DAC/amps in general are very capable from what I have listened in a recent headphones show. I mean you are covered and you don't need to build something else for any practical reasons. On the other hand there are no JFET + MOSFET minimal signal path Class A choices that I know of out there in the ready made world. And if there are some they should be costing $$$. Its usually either chips or tubes.

Many thanks Jesper !

In weekend i will try go an listening to some.
Jesper.
Well, did you?

Any guys have ever tried TKDs (in general) and this one in particular?
TKD 2CP-601/S Potentiometer | Hifi Collective
Wonder how it compares to Alps blue.

Argh... Sry man... I didn't make it. My family had me hooked up with other things this weekend.
😱 Really i also did forget i promished that.
But i will eventuelly soon be going hunting headphones

Tired one several years ago.Any guys have ever tried TKDs (in general) and this one in particular?

I do feel that sound quality of the TKD pots is better than ALPS RK27. However, TKD pots seems have noise and contact problem (one channel have no sound) after several year of use.
A friend of mine both encountered the same issue. So we both changed the TKD pots.
I am measuring a Tocos 50K Log here that Vgeorge got recently from that Taiwan guy on ebay who sells them by two pieces and I see better channels agreement than with the older production one that I have in my 6V6 line pre. Like 2-5% in the mid region and 10% worse case in the very low resistance region. Its a good sounding relatively economic pot to have in the parts drawer.
The 20K log value isn't as usually offered as the 50K log. Did you find a store that has it on offer? Also examine the type number because its complex and one letter difference can mean linear type. Better clarify with the seller if its not explicitly listed as log taper.
