Hi Thomas,
I might be interested if you can tell me if those 10,000uF 63V electrolytics are still available?
Thanks

Ok no doubt thomas but i am not ready to put so many money in this chips. I can use this money in other diy audio project that will more improve my system. Pay attention, i don't say that your price is overquoted but as i say it i'm not ready to put 105$ in the TDA1541A.... not yet.

hi all,
since there were many remark 1541a chips in market.
USE OLD 1541 remark to 1541a.
Or remark to S1 or S2.
Bu U can the the ceremic will thinner because they polish the old words & remark the new one.
If in market U can get the 1541a S1 or S2 in cheap price. Pls take care.
I wold lke to said taiwan gurantee money back if chips was remark. I will do the same too.

hi marc,
so U will understand why I design the DAC use only one chips. Use multi-vchips had some regions had better performace but at least they cannot use the best chips because regarding the money of the chips. Japan the best zandan labs & marantz Project D-7, marantz DAC 7 all were max use two chips was must considerate the price of the chips.

Hi Thomas,
I would like a price to ship the DAC3 kit with the upgraded caps. A price to swap out the standard TDA1541A to the TDA1541a S2, If you can supply a U.S. version (110V 60hz) transformer, and a CS8414 receiver chip and maybe a cd transport kit. I have not read all previous pages so I need to be up on all this so I can decide on all options before I can send money. Please advise on any other options for this.

hi all,
pls pls pls not paypal money to me, today's morning I deal with the chips dealer in taiwan for more detail & price of the chips that so many diyers really like the chips but actually tha price was quite unaffordable.
Since he said that 9713 date code was the best of the TDA1541a S2 because this date code was under japan manantz & zandan lab standard & request for them to further selection.
At last we agree the total pcs if reach 50pcs will had max 7% discount.
If reach 100pcs will had 10% discount, sorry no more. This is the best that I can do. I will share the postage of the chips & insurance to all the ordered diyers.
I will not earn any since I also need 4 pcs of this chips for me to test for the full balance 1541a dac.
He will be same gurantee money back if the chips was not real, me too.
Pls reg. first & accumlate the total order.
pls remember arrive 50Pcs will had 7% discount.
let up point to 50pcs first.

hi Bro,
My IV was design running in ad797,627 & 5534 will better, since change this Op will had different result. in my opinions.
5534 ( must philips, most expensive but will much better than TI or JRC, U can test & compare)
AD797, balance sound stage but less detail than opa627.
OPA627 was the most slient OP-amp since opa627 was not design for audio use, will lower noise than ad797 & 5534. more detail, better HF & LF, but will less musical than two chips.
If U cannot work with other chips, pls check the adapter, some time will not good contact. pls use the meter to check the op-amp adapter & DAC PCB good contact or not.
After U test for op-amp & know which chips U like the most. I suggest U directly solder into the PCB, will improve little bit.
But final that U like to improve much more was change to 1541aS2. there will had 10~15% increase, special in the MF, more density, smooth & 3D. bass will little deeper, HF of the piano will more solid. If compare to the 1541a, R1 & S1. S2 will little bright than 3 grade of chips or said 3 grade of chips will had little dim sound if compare with the s2. This is all my opinions.

IV stage Post #836
Firstly, I think this is quite a wonderful DAC. Great job Thomas. As a newbie as I am, I'd like to learn what works in a good DAC and this V3 has the flexibilty to offer me great latitude to experiment. I'd like to agree that the DAC sounds pretty natural after playing it for about a while. And more can be done!
But I have one problem. Strangely U17 socket only handles dual opamp like 5532 without problem. While the single-to-dual opamp adapter would only output Right Channel. I've swapped U17A and U17B with different OPA627, OPA234 and 5534 ICs and all yield the same result. I've also tested the adapter module at the pins and sockets for continuity. It proves that the module is wired perfectly. So can anyone suggest how I might proceed to troubleshoot what may have gone wrong?
I've tested the DAC to work in the 3 configurations that Stevox just mentioned.
