For Sale Large batch of TDA1541A DAC chips

Things you have for sale.
Hello all,

After 15 years of collecting and tinkering with CD-players I decided to sell some of my TDA1541A DAC collection. I personally desoldered (with the proper tools) all of these from CD-players, CDV players and digital tuners. The pins are all straight and very clean, no bent or damaged pins. Will fit sockets fine (even the machined gold plated ones). They have been stored in anti-static materials for quite some time, it's time to let these make some music!

Available are:
none left

In my opinion all the A types sound very alike. Especially with some form of DEM locking they do not differ all that much from my S1 chip. It is debatable whether the R1 version is worse or better than the plain A. Rumours say the R version is for 'Relaxed' specification but the datasheet states it is slightly better than a normal A. The CDP227ESD from sony uses it, so it must not be worse I suppose.
The non-A cannot be locked by DEM, or at least not without some tricks...

All chips are in good working order and have been stored in anti-static packaging.
Fixed price of 50 euros each for an A type and 40 for the non-A. Payment through PayPal, payment cost and shipping is yours. I can ship anywhere but would prefer within the EU.

I can guarantee these chips are good working genuine Philips parts, however I cannot guarantee the working in your project, so no warranty or money back. They all work fine in my projects, but I hope you understand.

I suspect there will be some interest in this, I'll sell to the first person who messages. If there are none left, I'm sorry in advance. I have 20+ CD-players still that have these, they will probably end up for sale too since I'm clearing out the shop somewhat.

Please state your specific interest based on row nr (1 thru 9) and column (1 thru 3).

Best regards
Joris
