They may be different versions of a model. The one on the left looks more Japanese style while the one on the right looks more European.
It does not have the "Philips" logo on it, is this real?
Please help
No, it is Fake. Most chips from China sellers on internet are FAKE.
I soon realised after posting that there's a few giveaways.
If there's anyone here who has one for sale, please get in touch. Willing to pay handsomely.

Apologies for butting in.
Out of curiosity. Has anyone ever bought one of these?
Do they actually work as a DAC? Is it just an 'old' 1541 which has been re-decalled (the pins in the above photo look un-soldered) or is there a Chinese Factory actually making TDA1541A's that 'work' and then trying to get even more money by labelling them with two Crowns?
As I say, just curious. If they are indeed making 'new' ones, it seems a waste not to do it 'properly' and just make some good, new TDA1541A's to Philips spec'n.
Cheers one and all,

There are so many around that I suspect (guess) a Chinese factory is making them. There are thousands listed for sale on IC markets. You could go into production with this chip. Yes they work fine, and sound fine. They are doing it properly.

Just when they got the printing almost perfect on the fakes someone just has to go and fake the fake. Beautiful.

A selected premium fake. Crystal clear Chinese sound! Sound porn! Buy me!
Any other reasons you think it's fake?
From Google I can see that there isn't necessarily a standard shape of crown for S1 chips - and this includes chips already installed in older equipment.
I can only say that it sounds better than my R1.
Anyone else care to weigh in too?

To answer my own question I'm satisfied that it's genuine.
Gut instinct tells me it's real just from the sound. But I also did some digging and managed to find a chip with the exact same codes that looks just like mine, including the crown. That one was from a reputable seller who pulled the chips from some Spectral gear.
