I have tried some DAC's: well-known here R2R DAC, popular Korean DAC's on AK4490 and ES9018 and other. I must admit that DLCP is the cleanest, the most transparent and the most musical DAC I have ever heard by substantial margin. No "digital harshness" at all. I think it is due to unusual DAC clocking, clever Vref supply and differential analogue output stage filtering. It is hard to find similiar board out there. I haven't tried MiniDSP or Najda, unfortunately.
Be prepared for some frustrations regarding firmware/software and some unexpected behavior, but I think most solutions are documented here.
I have been using two modules for the last two years, and experienced it all.
But apart from that, the product is quite slick and sounds really good. IMO better than minidsp. In my humble opinion, its one of the better complete pre/dac/dsp solution on the marked still.

where is the bootloader v2?
Hi guys,
I was looking for the hex file of the DLCP bootloader v.2, since in the Hypex download page there is only the firmware v.2.1 available.
I read the "DLCP firmware migration" PDF, and I need the bootloader first to upgrade from the v.1.2 firmware.
Thanks

Is see you are looking for the "DLCP Bootloader V2.0.hex". It should be in the same folder as the "DLCP Firmware Migration R2.pdf"
Thanks to Frank for sending me the missing files.
Yes Antana, I finally found the bootloader file in the zip, but I have to download it from the HypexPRO site, since in the Hypex site the zip file provided contains no firmwares.
However, looks to me that firmware V2.3 and control firmware V1.3 are still missing in the R1.10.zip file.

Would someone around here happen to know if there would be a way to pickup a 5V DC source on an AS2.100 plate amp?
The goal would be to power a Bluetooth receiver with low power requirement.

It has no 5 Vdc line in its circuit.
Although Bluetooth can be very low power, when used for audio streaming, it can still draw a couple of mA.
You could tap into the secondary lines of the transformer. A safer way would be to buy a simple TracoPower ACDC 'module' and add it alongside the AS2.100. In this way you do not tamper with the AS2 design and you do not risk to overload it.
Thank you for your advice!
No risk of EMI perturbations with such a module next to the amplfier?

Sorry if this has been stated but could I easily use a Hypex plate amp and use it to power a 3way speaker?
I was thinking maybe a passive Xo for the mid.highs and then I would only need two channel amp. Then time align and go from there. BUT if I add a module I could eliminate the passive Xo and have an all active setup which would be better.
So I dont know where to start so thats why I am asking. Ideally 100watts x 2 and a 400watt module might work. Bass driver could take more but I dont mind being amp limited.
Thoughts?

So I would then need another plate amp for the bass section?
That would be fine but I dont want to use two power plug to make it work.

You can disconnect the power connection on one of the amps and instead connect it on the inside to the connection of the other amp.

Hi there, my first post on diyAudio.
I did get the DLCP to work, ELNA Silmic II power caps, skotty diodes for rectifier. OMG this sounds incredible after 100 hours of burning in. Amazing. Very happy to spend 20-30 hours in building this.
Kind regards,
Harrie

After using additional powersupply regulating 1086CT/337T the sound improves. I have the feeling some more updates can be done easily.
I believe Bruno already reported this somewhere, that he added a capacitance multiplier to the assemblage and it improved the sound. So, yes, increased regulation/filtering.

its probably in the power supply noise rejection measurements, either line to load or vice versa, and frequency curves for same.
Either way, just do it! or not, your choice, this is DIY
