Hi All
First post, please be gentle with me etc.
I've recently moved house and, hence, have the luxury of unpacking some long-archived bits of audio kit.
One of them is the forum favourite of a couple of decades ago, the M-Audio SuperDAC 2496.
So, I've got to say, it doesn't sound half bad, and I've compared it to several more modern bits of kit.
I've already replaced the 1/4 inch jacks with RCAs so it's very easy to connect up and cable-swap.
However, ever the one to attempt low risk / low cost tinkering, does anybody have tips on:
1. A 12V AC power supply that I can buy in the UK, and if that makes a difference.
2. If the AKM DAC chip can be swapped out simply or is soldered in place.
Any other cheap, fun things I can do to it to have a bit of fun.
Cheers and Happy Friday
