Hi !
I am a little embarassed to ask you this
I would like to build a line stage (wait a little before move the 3d ... please ... )
Looking at some measurements on cd/dvd/br players i see often excellent measurements in terms of distortion and noise
To cut short, i would like to take out the PS and analogue stage of a good player, place a pot before the analogue stage and build a line preamp
I ask these because is so much easy to find a used player, maybe with a broken spinner in the market
Maybe I could upgrade some components like caps
What do you think ?
As i said i had this idea looking at the measurements of some players
They look even better than those of a typical line stage
Or another idea would be to buy just a pcb of a dac in kit with a particularly good and strong output stage and build just the analog stage (maybe even the best choice)
I cannot start from scratch ... I am not that good
I madly need a pcb and also easy to work with (i.e. not too crammed with components)
And of coure with smd components I should not have to solder in the circuit
Do you have any suggestion/advice ?
I am interested only in solid state circuits
Thank you very much indeed
Kind regards,
gino
