Pls check the photo for the sepc of different grade of TDA1541a chips, 1545 & 1543 also contain too.

Since 9713 date code was almost the best of the TDA1541AS2 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.

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 daniel (Bro),

when U received the dac was standard fit the 5534, not 5532.
I only use one single op-amp for oe channel.

if still cannot use the opa627, plstry remove the dac
ic socket & re-solder, every diyers can do this & use 627 or 797, your will be same too. do U had any other single -op-amp on hand??

if yes, pls try or try to ake this dac to your friends if he had some of single op-amp can fit & test.

every channel circuit was mirror image, all same. Pls try to use the solder to re-solder the output satge of the dac & find out the problem .

looks there may be the IC sockets problem, f U had a new one. pls exchange for it & ket me know the result.


thx

thomas

hi Bro,

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.

Hi Thomas,

You are right! On closer inspection of the opamp adapter, one of the socket is faulty (loose contact). Fixed it. Thanks!

Now I'm having plenty fun testing different opamps. 🙂 Listening to the OPA627 too (with the fixed adapter of course). Can you share how long do I have to burn in before judging the sound?

Yes, you sent me two Phillips 5534. I've also bought one 5532 dual opamp just for troubleshooting. Have been reading quite a bit about opamps. So amazing to learn that there are so many different types and results!

If the TDA1541AS2 is USD90, I'll take one. Quite expensive for me. Registered mail is fine with me.


One other thing, do you have PCM2707 or PCM2706 IC? I've been trying to buy one with no luck. I want to build a simple USB receiver. With I2S output.

Many thanks again Thomas! 🙂 🙂

Hi Thomas!

Why don't u open a new thread for this TDA1541AS2 groups buy. I think most people didn't realize that this group buy is available bcoz it is in this version 3 dac thread. I can see they are a few thread on tda1541 i n the digital forum. It might attract more people.



Cheers!

Eddy.
 
Hi all,

Maybe we should post all our inquiries regarding the S2 to the new dedicated thread Thomas has started under Group Buys, so we don't clutter this thread and start posting about S2 on multiple different threads. This can get confusing. Thanks.
 
hi mike,

very thanks for your advise.

do U received my advise.

1541a chane to 1541AS2 will only 10~15% improve, all range will imrove little bit better , but can hear the different between the 1541S1 & S2. John's design may be can solve the matching problem of the chips. S I suggest U order 1 or 2 chips first & test in my dac for the sound quanilty. If really large improve in yor system or this s te sond stage that U like, U considerate to buy more in john's dac will not late..
I will keep at least 20 pcs on hand, If later U really like to get more.
I will offer same price for 6 pcs to U.

thx

hi all,

I replace all the caps this Week End ( 2 for PSU, the Rubbycon (2x) and the 4 Oscon).
So conclusion, I have an hum problem :xeye:, not a static hum because
it increases with volume level. But the sound came out ( sweet sound indeed) without any apparent distorsion.
when I power off the DAC, i hear a ploc, a pschit...., just like capacitor which is slowly discharging (about 1s).

Before changing caps, all was normal (no hum, no ploc), i run in NOS mode with ex-clock fitted.


I check the RCA, switch canal, change cable, switch power trans .... all seems ok. May be when desoldering or soldering i have broken some part but which one :xeye: ? When i do all this job i didn't let op amp, ex clock on the board.

So, is there anyone who has measured (U or I) part around opamp ( i suspect it came from there) to help me find an eventual dead part ? ( i have 16-0-16 at the output power trans, 230 V 50 Hz in)

Thanks,
RTD
 
Hi Thomas,
I finally received the parcel. No damage to anything. The DAC looks great.
It will take me some time to set it up. I didn't order the transformer yet. I can get it in 2 days from a local shop.
I'll read all posts relating to various issues to ensure that all is well before turning on the power.

Will keep you informed how it works out.
Thanks,
Ashok.
 
Hi RTD,

You can measure from pin 4 (-12v) and pin 7 (+12v) both to ground or between pin 4 and 7 (24v).

2 x single opamp AD797 on dual pcb connected in single 8 pins feet on board.

But I'm thinking that lost a connection because its a double sided print board so check your connection on the board.

Thx
Peter
 
Hi Peter,

Thanks for your help. You were right, it's a connexion between one of the PSU Caps and one diode ( good translation ??? :whazzat:))
that has "take off" from the board ( probably due to heat when desoldering).

As it links the diode to the (-) pole of the caps,
it passes very close to the (+) pole (or Vice-Versa). When moving the connection, you can hear hum increasing or decreasing....

So i will try to stick it or change it for teflon isolated wire and solder it in the bottom of the PCB.

Thanks again for your help

RTD,
 
Hi Tube-lover

I have sent you many emails about my order:

I sent the money to you almost 10 days ago, but have not heard anything from you

Could you please inform me about how the order is coming along a.s.a.p.

Thank you;
