Experience with this DIY DAC ?

[Ryssen]

"Yo, I just received the DIR9001 and mounted on this DAC with the UTC A-20! Great upgrade! Great bass!!! Highly recommended! "


Oppsss,where did you buy it from?

Found this abundance of diy regulator links. Some might work. Just check out...

Power Supplies and Regulators for Hi-Fi Audio

Just scroll down to Teddy Regulator (Three-terminal shunt and series regulators ) and read the description....

Thanks.

This regulator's output impedance varies with the current drawn; hence, it may or may not suit every purpose.

Hmmm...

 

[stc4life]

Thanks.



Hmmm...

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I think that was in reference to the TeddyReg. Doesn't everyone have SuperTeddyRegs? Maybe its not an issue with the STRs?

Yes. I thought about that too(wishful thinking). I don't know if the topology is similar.

Just use Salas shunt board from Quang Ho like Ryssen did..

That's what I might end up doing.
Since nobody has outright said these are a lost cause I'm still waiting to see if someone will come up with a solution. But I'm becoming increasingly pessimistic.

Looks like Lucasz Fikus is try to make big bucks from this DAC....

Nope, not at all. But we aren't his target audience I hope.

Also, I'm skeptical of his tube circuit.

Skeptical you shall not if there's a A-B between transformer output CS4398/97 vs Tube output ala Lampizator...

Looks interesting but he doesn't mention which chip he's using.

I simply use the best D/A chip known to me at given moment or any D/A you choose as your favorite. Every week - it may or may not be a different DAC because my job means progress

Let's just buy one. What's €1300 to help prevent nuclear holocaust?

All parts are overspecified, usually old stock, mostly military, preferably Soviet made or Warsaw Pact. (Disarmament is a part of my mission). Remember - every Lampizator DAC or kit - means that ONE MORE missle or MIG is grounded. “Make Mozart not Nuke Hekatomb!”

Contacted raindrop hui, and got this reply
"We have the DIR9001 module of the picture provided, but it can only suit for the DIP 28 socket pins assignment of this DAC, not exactly to replace the CS8412/CS8414 directly, if you have the DAC or DIY by yourselves, then the DIR9001 is fine for you, please advice"
I presume that the DIR9001 works fine and is a good upgrade? If so I will ask him for a price and maybe give it a try

Hi,

Will an AC power line filter like this one give any improvement for this DAC?

Snow48_6 and Gigawork also sells the DIR 9001 module.

Right Channel not working ?

MMmm hope someone can help me
I have version 2 of the DAC with UTC-20 transformers that have been working great, until the other day when the right channel stopped working.
I checked the signal continuity with a multimeter and everything is normal, I can readings from the DAC to the Transformer and from the transformer to the RCA connection. any ideas ???
