pinout of standard crystal oszillators ?

They use a high quality master clock in general if that's what you mean.

what about the "jitter tolerant" DAC? http://www.analog.com/UploadedFiles/Data_Sheets/598149434AD1859_a.pdf

There are different ways of paralleling and simply piggy backing chips is not beneficial in most configurations is my experience as well.

I think Carlos is referring to that way of paralleling chips.

Yes, I was.🙂

Calm down, guys...
Bernhard, I've gave you some advice (ideas?) based on my personal experience.
Take it or leave it.
I think my words were misunderstood.
Let me tell you, in case you don't know, that I learn everyday.
And I'm here to learn and also to share my knowledge.


I hope there is some more people like me.

That's what I think every morning when I wake up 😀

VA or VD?

hmm... let's bring this thread back on track. 🙂

if i were to implement a reclocker circuit using the XO and a binary counter, which is the preferred supply to tap power from, assuming that i have a VA and VD supply for my CS8412?

thanks

Hey you all, have you read this?

if not, do it.

From the above link:

The audible effect of jitter suggested by these simulations would be to add a signal-related grundge and lack of resolution as the analog signal's noise floor rises and falls with both the signal and the jitter, while any periodicity in the jitter—at the power-line frequency and its harmonics, for example—will throw up frequency-modulation sidebands around every spectral component of the music.

All that is visible with a spectrum analyzer, so clocks and clock PSU decoupling can be compared. 🙂

I still use a Staedler 317 green on the side of the outer ring of my cd's with great success. I convinced the laughers years ago in blind tests.

At least 10 years ago we found that the Staedler was a good alternative for CD Stoplight. They are not agressive for the protective layer on cd's which is quite important. The ink is removable but I never removed it though. You can't go wrong with 317 on the outer circle. Painting the inner circles "wall" is more tricky, better leave it like it is.

Costs near to nothing, makes a real difference. So why not try it ?

My (or all) Philips CD650 has a green led illuminating the CD.😀
Was Philips up to something 20 years ago?😕 😱

Regarding paralleling chips, it may work when implemented properly, I don't have doubts about it, as obviously some players that use parallel devices sound very good. However proper implementation is very important.

If you just try randomlly piggy back DACs, you might expect totally different results, that's all.

It is much safer to use a single chip where results are more or less much better predictable.

BTW, my modified Marantz CD-94 with TDA1543 chip, do sound better than PartsConnexion modified Shanling SACD.
