After some test with No oversampling DAC chip I think that the AD1865 is the best.

If compared to the new technology DAC chips like AD1955 and CS4397 since to be more natural.

The old TDA have a too close sound and with these some particulars are lost.

The preview of my article is here

But where I can get some AD1865 chips to create a kit ?

Someone have tested the AD1861 or the AD1851 with th esame technology ?
 
Did you try PCM56 ? Same as AD1856 = 16 bit version of AD1861.
Best IMHO.

Every kind of TDA sucks, right.

Do you use an analog filter ?

I tried everything from unfiltered over transformer filter to active & passive brickwall and passive brickwall sounds best.

Your THD numbers seem to be a little bit.high.

Why only show spectrum to -80dB ?

No digital filter

I/V converter made with a Caddock MK132

No analog filter, in the final version a LL7903 wil be used to increase the output voltage and tii create a natural filter


You will have birdies all over the place... and intermodulation poducts. What is a "natural" filter?
My question was addressed at Bernard though.
