D1 I/V Stage Finished.

The capacitors are russian PIO 10uF/160V.
The heatsink between them is there to keep them in place without destroying their terminals (they are quite heavy).

Further details: The DAC/receiver section is fed with a battery (12V 1.2Ah SLA, since the consumption is about 40-50mA max), with Oscons all around an double regulation for each section.

The "signal lock" output of the CS8414 is used to detach the battery charger (which is re-attached after 1 min of no signal)

Here is my D1 stage, used to convert the iout of a TDA1545A DAC into useful voltage 😉

The first impressions are quite good, but I'm heavily biased and my wife claims to be deaf 😀 :smash:

Soon I'll bring to a friend to get his opinion😕

Cheers

Looks fantastic, and i believe sound even better. Did u use a volume control right at the output? the Passlab D1 has one...just wondering if the o/p is high and therefore Passlab put volume control.
 
963

I took the first opamp after the dac out. I used to contacts on the pcb to connect the D1. I soldered very thin coax on it.

I added toroid transformer in the left side of the 963 (on the bottom under the 220 volt connector).
 
D1 AND PHILIPS 963SA

Jaap.

From DAC 1955 the signal is + / - current then the signal after D1 will be +/- voltage.
Did you make balanced or unbalanced output?
If you've done unbalanced output, please suggest how you combine 2 phase signals.
 
The circuit doesn´t convert balanced to unbalanced, so if you dont want a balanced output signal you just use the in phase + signal and leave the - signal out.

Or what would be very complicated.
You use both signals with 2 I/V Stages you get balanced out signals and then with a circuit like the Balanced lline stage you take both signals at input and then mix them into one and get a single ended signal at the output.

I dont see any advantages for something so complicated. :bigeyes:
 
D1 AND PHILIPS 963SA

Jaap,
You've told that you just took opamp AD8022 out then connect IOUT from there.
From 963SA schematic there are +8V_OpAmp series 1k8 to IOUT and also there are 100R + 100p parallel with 470R + 180R connected to AD8022 output and then also connected to output stage AD8032.
So these circuits will also be connected to input of D1. I think these circuits will have effect to D1.
Please advise what you have done.
