Looking for Parasound DAC-2000 Ultra schematic

[Peter Daniel]

I just bought this DAC pretty cheaply and it seems to have great potential, especially modified. That's why I would appreciate if somebody could share schematic of that unit.

I already prefer it to Benchmark DAC, as it has more "organic" signature, although less detailed. Pretty nicely done inside too.

I paid $200 as it was sold as "broken". The only defect was a blown fuse.

A Stereophile review from April '96 was actually pretty accurate describing that unit.

Contact Parasound, Peter.
If you get one schematic I would love receiving a copy.

Peter,

Can you tell me the manufacturer of the transformers on that board? I've been looking for those.

Thanks

Why anybody don´t sell stuff like that for 200$ in my country??

 

[Peter Daniel]

It was priced that low only because sold as non functional. Noramlly, you can see it on Audiogon at $600.

I took a chance buying it; if DAC chip was damage, it wouldn't present much value anyway.

The transformers are made by Talema. I think Digi Key carries them as well.

Hi Peter,

Did you get any further with upgrading the D/AC-2000?

Do you have any recommendations regarding this...?
