Thank you very much guys!
I found the datasheet, but I still wonder why Texas Instrument hides it. There are a lot of very good machines out there running this chip and they have an outstanding reputation! Furthermore HDCD is to me a very good technology, even if it is not very popular.
I think I am going to bite off those nasty muting transistor and maybe substitute them with relays. Any advice? (please) Are thei useful only when powering up the cd player with the amp on, or they serve also when the cd player enters/exits stanby mode? ( or play/stop?)
Richt, what do you mean that the clock is not on the servo? there is a clock (at least a crystal) on the main board.. It should syncronize both the transport and the dac, or am I wrong?
Sould I do any special to install a better one (e.g. LC XO, etc)?
Would you recommend one in particular?
Franz G, thank you very much, you built some appetite in my curiosity... but I think you've gone too far for my ability and understanding of the matter.
Maybe I will post you in the future, when I'll have more confidence with these issues
Bye and have a very good time!
