How good is this DAC project???

[royalmp2001]

I came across the following project on the web and wonder if you folks could check it out and tell me what you think.

I want to build a dac for my Yamaha keyboard (which has crap convertors by my ears), but it has no digital output so I will try to figure out where the signal enters the onboard dac and solder some leads to connect it up to the external dac....geddit?

Thanks for any help

I've built this DAC and it's very good. You can find pics here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6981&pagenumber=1

As with all DACs, take care of the master clock quality (jitter)

Well, as long as it is free from jitter... 🙂

if that where true it is supposed to be the DC part of the jitter spectrum 🙂
