Hi Everyone,
I just finished the built of my first chipamp based on the MyRef_Fremen edition. It's a standalone amplifier with RCA in, powering a stereo setup, without volume control.
The next step is to integrate this amplifier into my living room setup. I'm using an lcd tv, an Nvidia Shield Android TV. Most of the time we listen to music being casted from our phone to the Android TV.
Must haves
Nice to haves
What would be the best way to achieve this? The 3.5mm output jack on my TV is way to noisy, but it also has an optical out.
I'm a fan of the DIY route and would not mind spending some time buying different modules, soldering, assembeling them in a case, ... But I also note that because this section of diyaudio is focused on digital, that most members seem to buy ready-made boards and assemble them. But these boards in general seem to be rather expensive.
Alternatively I would just buy something like a Topping D50s DAC, that fits most of my requirements. And it's probably cheaper compared to the DIY route.
WDYT? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
