DAC-END 24 (AD1865 NOS DAC )

[flocchini]

Thanks

I will definitely try it - really would be a bare bones system without tube output

I am still curious about the 3.3V jumper -it's function

Yes but need cut 3.3v from usb
Thanks

I have received the DAC-End 24, it sounds really good.

Them I added 2nd AD1865 chip to the board on top of the 1st AD1865 chip making them paralelled, it sounds even better, it can drive my pre-amp directly without tube output stage.

Now I like DAC-END 24 better than my ESS9018 with output transformers.

Thank your mode . I like information

Hi My Friends,

I have just paid for the DAC END 24, now need to buy the AD1865 chip for it.

Could you advise how to get the REAL AD1865 ?

thanks alot and happy new year!

Did this mod- sounds really nice and has the added benefit of not needing a output stage - simplicity !!!!

Thanks jackm

It was really good news flocchini!
Now I am thinking adding 3rd or 4th chips in the stack to increase the S/N ratio and output current.
Do you think it is good idea based on the current power supply on the board?

You have a nice day!

I think Quang Hao would need to answer about the current draw and the supply limitations. Interesting idea !!!!

[flocchini]

I love the parallel AD1865 setup - maybe Quang Hao will experiment with this.

Hello All

How does one purchase only the DAC module with usb amanero assembled and tested? Tried going into Audiodesignguide.com but only information. Then stumbled on DAC End 24 PCM DAC - Hi-Resolution System

But no link for purchase though, help assistance please, thanks all.

 

[jackm]

Hi Friends,

I wonder if you have tried to replace the I/V resisters on the DAC End 24 board and what type of resisters you will recommend.

thanks
Jack

Hi fccn75,

I emailed Quanghao "quanghao168@yahoo.com.vn" and he provided information for payment.

Can the power supply support 3 AD1865 chips?
Can the power supply support 4 AD1865 chips?

The mod with 2 AD1865 chips sounds really nice to my ears and it is elegant without any needed output stage

Thank you

Bob

I have some NOS AD1865N-K chips, if anyone interested. Purchased directly from AD years ago, 100% genuine guaranteed.

[thuanth43]

I still have 3 pcs of NOS AD1865N-K. Got a tube of them from Digikey. 🙂

 

[lindamar]

Hello Quanghao,

Are there pcb available for this Dac ? I would be interested in the IV PCB as well

Cheers
