I just received my Teac DAC today and popped the top top have a look inside. Now I should make it clear that I do not expect this DAC to replace my modded Marantz KI-Pearl. It is a project for me and I will share everything I learn about it with everyone on this sight. So, with the top off I see that the op-amps in the audio section are 5532's. These are old devices, maybe second generation. They are run off of plus-minus 12 volts. There are dozens of 47uF/16 surface mount caps all over this PCB. They are even used for all the IC's including the DAC and op-amp's. I looked up the data for the DAC chips and can see the caps connected to the power pins. These are some of those 47uF caps that I mentioned. The AC wires are not twisted and are bundled with other wires. I will be changing things starting with the wiring. Then a lot of those small caps will be made 1000uf. These will have to be radial with long leads. The op-amps will be up-graded to the latest LME's or others. There is a n op-amp this I am not familiar with a Muse 8920. I looked it up too, and it doesn't look like anything special to me. That one is a dip package so I have a lot of IC's I can use there. I'm letting it burn in over night so I will be listening to it stock tomorrow. If anyone knows anything about this unit Please let me know. Thanks, bobwire |

It's particularly interesting because this is a reasonably priced DAC. |
