WTB Looking for PCM63

[m17xr2b]

Looking for a pair of PCM63 dac chips. Standard, J,K,Y, any would do just to try out a DIY all in one headphone project.
I'll cover shipping from anywhere.

Thank you.

I have a working Creek DAC with dual PCM63 if you're interested. You'd have to remove the chips yourself.

I have 2 PCM63 in selected version " J ", if you are interested. 🙂

@Lougous Sure, I tried to PM you but can't for some reason.

@profiguy thank for your offer but I'm not skilled enough nor have the tools to remove the chips without damaging them.

 

[profiguy]

I can remove them for you if you like. I have a professional ESD safe desoldering station.

Hello m17xr2b,
Here is a photo of my 2 BB PCM63P-J,

To note - issued from Japan, not fakes from Korea or China. as seen on the Bay
- the same batch
- little inconvenience : pin 28 a little bit shortened, to prolong.
- also available : Burr Brown filter DF1700P and digital interface Yamaha YM3623B

I don't know why but I can not PM you, so note my email : eldesdichado67 at gmail.com

Where do you get the idea pcm63 chips are fake from korea?

 

[Lougous]

I read it somewhere on Internet. But have only experienced the Japan chip.

If faking it, they may as well print 'Japan' instead of Korea or Philippines to arouse doubts or skepticism. That is if pcm63 were never made in other countries except Japan.

I have 2 PCM63P-K available. They have never been used or soldered in any way except that I did insert them in a DAC but never powered it up as I was going to do some other mods to it and never got around to it.

I used to do warranty work for both Parasound and Behringer so I know they are genuine NOS.

 

[profiguy]

They look identical to the ones in my DAC, so I'd definitely say they're genuine.
