It will, i have them but you should have bought the 2W version. They sound even better then the 0.5W
Hmmm...are you sure, have you tried both versions ? Original is 0.5 watt.
And 2w silver tantalum is over dobbel the price, which is already high enough for the 0.5w.

To be honest, no i haven't tried the 0.5W but it was recommended to me by someone who knows his stuff but doesn't sell them.
With a non commercial biased answer i thought i did the right thing then.
Ouch, i see you talk about the silver version.....i have bought the non magnetic Tantalum version

I see. I think that it’s more important that the resistors is non magnetic and conten tantalum and pure silver.
Hello Norway,
When i was looking for a resistor to use at that spot i could only found the Shinkoh 2 watt. If i remember well the Audio note resistors available at that time were not the right the value for a 4 deck dddac. The new series have a 2 watt in that value?
I remember buying a few of these two watt resistors for a phonostage that was build by me. It was a pretty hefty invoice for la handful of resistors.
I remember buying the original Shinko 0,5 watt resistors in Paris 3 decades ago for less than 2$. These were considered expensive at the time.
So after finishing my new tiny power amp, going Fifopi, new clocks, lifepo4, supercaps i might try these 2 watts too.
Greetings, Eduard
P.s the attachment is a new copper chassis, 440*440*68 mm ( this is the power supply part including the ultra path caps. The signal part is 440*193*68 and will the attached to the bigger part by means of a wooden frame.

I was told that the 2 watts have their legs fixed in another manner, which highly affects the sound in a very positive way
I´m not gonna spend a lot on mediocre tants if a can obtain better sound by spending a hell of a lot....😀

When talking about I/V resistors. Have anyone of you tried these: General Resistance GG102 Squaristor Series | Rhopoint Components
Chassis looks awesome. Did they laser cut or punch it?
Edit, I can see they punched it.
TCD
These were the best resistors I heard but not cheap. Then I upgraded to four boards and can’t bring myself to order them again....minimum order quantity is 10 last I checked.
Siver tants is still impressive. Lots of detail and no sign of listening fatigue yet, it sounds more analog without being dull.
Rhopoint GG102
A couple of years ago I bought a bunch of custom value 0.1% 133ohm Rhopoint GG102 resistors for myself and some of my single board DAC friends. Very transparent and neutral sounding without any edginess. They cost about $10 each including shipping, but it took two months to get them. Four needed for DAC board. Wattage rating too low for multiple DAC board loads.
As shown in the picture, I eventually made my own custom DAC boards with a buffer on the main board and ADM7150 Vreg circuits for the digital components and digital side of the PCM1794 chips. I use external Salas 1.3 version power sources for all analog devices. Very analog sounding.

well, the real problem behind is not "solved" - but the at least we could exclude the DAC from being the issue. I received it yesterday, put it on the Bench and everything tested 100%.
So for Leif the search goes on 😕

thxs DD
have to secure that all inputs are treated equally
thought s/pdif and Fifopi gave similar sound, but will have to compare same cd from hd and cd-player to be 100%
if s/pdif ok, next possible sinner is reclocker or even raspberry pi3B

Hello Leif,
I am new on this forum although using DDDAC since some years now.
I experimented similar issue as yours. DAC sounding "tiny". It came progressively after a full rearangement of boards and output transformers. I believed it was related to my speakers as they are active on lows. Wanting to do some more experiments, I decided to switch DAC "Old models" -> Tents regulated new version. Removing the DAC I noticed the 12V input cables were not firmly tighten. I put evrything back in place with properly tighten connector and then the old DAC was making proper basses not being tiny anymore.
Not sure you had same issue but may give you a hint where to search.
Best

I have 3x old red V2 main boards, 3x black V3 dac boards and 2x black V2 dac boards
I plan to have one main board with 2x V2 dac boards "as is" and experiment with the others
This thread is so huge I am not sure where to start, but can anybody suggest the mods recommended for the old red main board and V3 dac boards?
I also plan to only use 75 ohm I2S from my CD transport or squeezebox, not USB for the time being. It looks like the red main board does not have a 75R resistor onboard, can someone please confirm is this is the case?
Finally, I was thinking of using a Lundahl LL1572 input transformer, anybody tried this with the DDDAC?
Many thanks

does anybody have the application note for the Tent shunt regs?
I have a pair of 3V3 and a pair of 15V which came with the DDDAC boards I have, but no app note.
thanks
