@mikorist, I don't know about grade Y.
As for TDA1541 - there are no anyone hi-end device on this DAC

Here is list of dac.
Only common - Marantz, Sony, Philips and other middle end. This is no interesting.

I need to sell all the devices I have to buy a one from New old stock made in Made in Holland ... and probably a house too ...😀

There is a good Dutch site on this topic
https://dutchaudioclassics.nl/Philips-TDA1541/
I don't know if this offer is still valid
https://dutchaudioclassics.nl/For-sale-NOS-Philips-TDA1541A-S1-Single-Crown/
But the email is valid - so you can ask how much it costs.
I am afraid to ask how much cost Double Crown with Y.
I am not a fan of Philips chips, also I don't like Asahi Kasei. As for me - the high PCM's is better!
Yep...I prefer blondes to brunettes. And it is often cheaper. 😀

v2 PS - C7,C8,C27,C28,C32,C33 shoud be 100uF/25V or 330uF/25v?
I already ordered a new board for 1702 and looking the components. LM6171 I definitely don't want to use (already have with 1862) maybe opa134.
Anyway I will slowly build the project.
Miro, thanks for the nice Dac!

Unfortunately no 1702 in my drawer. Anybody an idea about a possible difference in sound? Cheers!
Have the 1701, further iteration not through hole but pins compatible iirc. Below the AD1862, TDA1541A, TDA1540, AD1865, PCM56/58... subjective of course and as far not tested in iso layout, who knows ?
1862 and 63 are the best dac in audio. Also there is D20400 (ultra analog). 1702/04 going after them. That's all the multibit Dac. As for multibit delta sigma - maybe AK4497/90 and of course PCM1794/92 is best.
You read it but did you test it ?
I did, there is a great diffetence between believing to know and knowing for true.
... and I know from reality you forgot the two first of the school which is a Philips and I would put the pcm56 and his brother in front of the pcm17xx with which I would not waste time.
I do prefer ad1862 to pcm63 but thanks to miro you can test both at very near iso conf (near pcbs) using same parts and supply but the dac chip...
YMMV of course, but having hearing them in old school machines does not suffice to get an idea. And of course the pcm1792 etc even does not touch the 4 first of my list...
If Miro1360 worked mainly on the ad1862 it is not by chance...one should has it as TDA1541A(s)
