What bout DAC END 2 that was built by Andrea Ciuffoli ? I remember that he also have boards of this version (DAC END 2)
Hi! do you think who do design it? can you tell me please???
thank
Thanks, I will use 10R for all digital 5V.IF you do not use TL43, keep 10R for CS8414 and 74HC04, it is better, no need 220uF and 0.1uf.
That is ok!
One more question regarding the S/PDIF input: in the CS8414.pdf, page 34, two receiver connections are described: professional interface (balanced receiver) using XLR connector and consumer interface (unbalanced) using RCA connector.
Is the double isolation with input transformer and the 0.01uF (on RXP and RXN pins), really needed? I don't want to criticize but according to the pdf if we use the 0.01uF the transformer is not needed. A transformer would be useful for balanced mode without using the 0.01uF, however, this is possible only by cutting the ground track of the transformer (anyway, I bought the input transformer so I will use it, just thinking...).
suggestion: for future boards you could separate the transformer ground with a wire strap, so a balanced mode connection would be possible.
Thanks,
Zsolt
Don't use any inductance or resistance after the reg. You destroy the performance in both cases, plus you risk oscillation in the case of inductance.
Don't you think would be useful to use a 10R at least for the analog +5V of CS8414, which is fed from the +5V of the digital parts?Don't use any inductance or resistance after the reg. You destroy the performance in both cases, plus you risk oscillation in the case of inductance.
Is that an RC filter or just a resistor? Try with and without and evaluate. Easy to decide. Unfortunately I have no experience with the whole thing so to guide you specifically. I know that the reg strives for low Zout and that inductance is bad for sure. If local RC or just C filtering is best, you gotta try it out IMHO. There is no significant noise off the reg to filter, maybe it will need more of isolation or not, against best Zo I guess.
10R could part of an RC filter with 220uF for low and 0.1uF for higher freqs and not a simple dropping resistor, but I might be wrong, as 220uF is necessary for the stability of the TL431.Is that an RC filter or just a resistor?

Anyway, I will evaluate with and without.

Multiple S/PDIF inputs
I would like to switch between two or more S/PDIF inputs using an external relay board.
Did somebody tried this?
Isn't some kind of reset circuit required when no S/PDIF signal is present for a period of time?
Thanks!

Quanghao,
Can you please forward me your address. I´m not able to make it out on the package you sent me.

Zsolt,
I am agree with you about the possibility to eliminate the capacitors if we are using a digital input transformers also if the datasheet is not very clear.
About the ground, yes we can keep the input ground separated in the next dac board to use balanced digital input

First I'm gonna cross the two DACs. New DAC with old tube stage, and old DAC with new tube stage. This way I can identify where is the major issue.
@apelizzo
Did you try the changing you said between your new and old DAC?
Curious about the results...
The data-sheet is indeed not very clear. In order not to confuse others I would say that with this version, so using capacitors at input, the use of transformer is optional. As it offers galvanic separation it is good to use it.Zsolt,

Quanghao,
I received an extra set of boards from you. How do I get these back to you minus the shunt reg board? Much thanks.

11. Joshua_G: full set (1PCB DAC-end, 1 PCB IV- stage for DAC, 1 PCB Salas shunt for DAC).
As I understand, the prices are:
PCB- DAC END = $15
PCB- I/V stage = $15
PCB- Supply for I/V = $15
Shipping = $6
(so far $45)
Plus Payment by PayPal fee %3.5 = $46.575 .
Is that correct?
Shall it be $46.57 or $ 46.58?
(I had to browse back 112 pages to get to the prices)!

Hi quanghao, I send you $60 via paypal for full set. I'm confused now. Do I get full set from you ? Is Salas shunt HV better for IV- stage. Please please clarify.

Ok i have another problem, on my I/V board.
I had C6 and C2 blow as I put them in the incorrect way around. Since replacing them I no longer get any voltage drop across R1-4 and R13-16.
What have i blown? 😀😱
I should also say that i do not have the tube plugged in. However when i had voltage drop earlier, i didn't have them in them either. Was it because the cap was the incorrect way around that it allowed current flow and as such gave me a voltage drop???
