WM8816 digital volume control (WM STAMP)

Yes, I think that I will be able to prepare about 15 sets for this project and make them available. I didn't order to many boards.

"Does the clock stop when control is idle?
Is is possible to switch the display off (has little sense, I know )"
I can do something like that 😉 But take a look at schematic - there is optoisolation between stamp and control board.

You don't have to use BUF634 - I don't like them to much. Just put some high output current op-amps like LM6171...

Troystg, there is a place for two buttons to control volume instead of encoder and another two for selector. Mute and another functions are controlled from remote.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Ok, so local (front panel) can be either rotary encoder OR push buttons for volume, and source selector buttons.

Those same functions are also available via remote.

Excellent!.. I loved my old Audio Alchemy DLC except no local controls. It was remote only and I don't know who that annoyed more, my ex-wife or I.

Yes, so if you wont to make some chip regulation - just use 4 switches mounted on front panel (they should look quite nice located under LCD).

Nice work.
Just found this thread.
I was looking at the pag23** series but i cannot bypass the internal opamp, had enough BB sound.
Saw the 8816 and 'an external opamp😀' perfect for discrete preamp.
Have you noticed any sound "signature" change using the 8816?
Any advise on implementing the WM8816?

Nice preamp😀

Did you try the WM8816?
