RE: Lookiing to build or buy a DAC

Thorsten,

Thanks for the response as you always do for me.

My friend sent me the Monica II DAC board and all it needs is a 12V DC source. It has a soldering pad for the digital IC from the transport and it goes directly to outputs(L/R) then off to wherever(another analogue stage or direct to a preamp). He says it has 1V output so the gain is on the low side. In looking at it there is not transformers of any kind.

It seems easy enough to put together in some kind of chassis.

I was more or less looking at this as a small project and I liked the act that you can probably build and output stage of your own or just go direct into a preamp of choice and see how it sounds.

When he had it he built a 12B4 output for it.
