A few year's ago I learned all about the magic sound of the TDA 1541a Chip. As a result I purchased a Marantz PM75 amplifier as I needed an amp. But this was one of few machines at that time ( circa 1989/90 ) which has a DAC. And that DAC contains a Silver Crown TDA1541 chip. It sounds really good and I have since had all the capacitors replaced with Kemit ones. To my mind it is underrated and given that chip it is very good value for money to buy second hand.
Fast forward and I decided to upgrade my DAC. I was going down the Chord route (having also got a Hugo2) , but I had a epiphany moment when I decided to stick to old fashioned multibit technology and so decided to purchase a Marantz DAC ie D12, Project D1 or a CDA 94. The latter came up recently for purchase , which had been upgraded with black gate capacitors and better opamps. It does sound fantastic. There is a depth and holographic feel to the bass that is very appealing to hear.
I also wanted to upgrade the TDA1541A chip and have been successful ...... and I have a simple "technical" question in that regard to ask here.
