Hi thanks a lot for the valuable reply
I am buying some of these dacs to try them.
I hope to receive the first pretty soon.
I have been told that a dac relying only on 5VDC is limited by design and i tend to agree. There is no enough voltage "headroom" for the regulators and also op-amps tend to give better performances at higher supply voltages.
Anyway I have already a usb power supply from Teradak and indeed it gives a remarkable boost to the sound, cleaner and more powerful
Better on all aspects.
On this basis i am redirecting my attention to dac with higher Vsupply and also external PS adapter that can be located far away from circuits.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
