I agree, have a couple of Elibs S2 chips 97 Taiwan from about 12 years ago when he was making them available and to me they are an improvement over 87 and 88 Taiwan standard types.
If you can't be sure if the S2 in hand are genuine, then hard to say..

Hi,
Jean-Paul, the Taiwan chips were not R1, they were standard A HSH9804 11266 with no additional markings (no R1, S1, S2).
I saw that you have been selling these - do you still have any you could sell maybe? 😉
The Dutch chip died. Suddenly there was a lot of "DRRRRRRRRRR" in the headphones and I quickly unplugged everything, but since then the chip produces no sound, just gets very hot in seconds. RIP. 🙁
SY, I know that blind test should be done, but I don't trust anyone with swapping my TDAs. Even I get all nervous and sweaty like I was dissasembling a live nuclear bomb when I swap the S2 chip.
I would need 2 identical DACs with a switch between them - that would work best to make A-B-A-B-A-B... comparison.
Ludwig Haus, yes, I agree. The difference between an ordinary A and S2 is big enough to be immediately audible. As soon as the singer opens his/her mouth there is a "wau!" effect. 🙂
I just don't dare use the S2 while my DAC is not finished and well tested. I'm still not sure what killed the Dutch chip - maybe I damaged it when I desoldered it from an old B&O pcb.

Hi guys,
I've got a friends MHDT Orchid DAC and am wondering how to better the sound. Could someone help and point out where could I buy a TDA 1541 S1 chip (in Europe)?
Thanks,
Jukka
