Hi,> http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/tnt1541_e.html
Ahh, yes... Good to know Giorgio is still on things....
Is obtaining a TDA 1541A variant something to be concerned about?
> http://www.diyparadiso.com/dac1.htm
No offence meant, but the "designer" of this is better not trusted. He took so far two of my designed, "improved" them with the result that they no longer worked properly and then tried to blame me.... In one case he did it in his actual web-pages, in the other I had to help his customer, who had paid HIM good money to debug and reverse his "improvements" vai mail. Upshot, don't buy from there if you expect debugged and properly working designs.
> Is the "problem" cited at the end of the article significant:
There is no problem if you actually implement the DAC based on either my original design or if you use the latest generation analog stage for the TDA1541 which simplifies things a little over the original Adagio and actually sounds better too.
BTW, the "solution" of the "problem" Benny Glass and Co came up with was to implement a primitive oversampling system, not entierly unlike what GP does in decima versions of his DAC's.
Funny, I prefer to solve the problem in the analog domain, not the digital one, as I percieve it as an anlog one... ;-).
