Parallel DSD1794 NOS/DSD passive I/V

[2A3SET]

Just for fun and sharing the experience, borrowed the idea from DDDAC1794 to run NOS mode to support 24/384K meanwhile also support DSD, worked out with PCB with DIPTRACE, doubt it's optimized, while looks better than P2P.

Here is the isolator, clock buffer and reclocker board.

Here is the final one, using BCF unbalancer to convert to SE.
Chord Hugo on the side.

Impressive work. How did the Hugo compare to the dac you build?

PCM from Hugo is super also it drives my speaker directly,

I used to convert PCM to DSD using Jriver and feed the 1794, no need with Hugo as its at another level, Native DSD 1794 is more natural although noisier.
