WTB Does anyone have a pair of TDA1540?

Wanted to buy
I've gone down the rabbit hole of vintage 14 and 16 bit philips DAC chips. There's a few threads on people designing new boards to accommodate I2S input, design updates, and balanced output. The whole idea is to see how good you can get 44.1Khz/16 bit to sound. For me its a journey, nothing ventured, nothing gained

When engineers wanted people to switch from lp to cd, their focus was good sound. Later on their focus was and still is ever bigger profit.
If you give these early multibit dacs good psu and excellent analog stage and do good decoupling, they are hard to beat with today's equipement - you need the best stuff and even then opinions may differ.
And you can diy and play. 🙂
