Introduction I spent most of the past year working on a follow-up for the good old (10 years) DDDAC1794-PBT. I promised this would be available for DIY as well and here it is! An introduction story for the DAC and for the Dual Power Supply which is designed to go together with the DAC…
Introduction Just a small in-between quick & dirty little project… It all started with a R2R DAC from Stefano, which was kindly sent to me for review, by Marcin. By the way…. there is a long thread about this Stefano DAC and the developments over time on the DIY Audio Forum: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/italian-r2r-ladder-dac-no-cpid-dsp.390541/ Point is…
Introduction In my post on the DDDAC Power Supply, I have already been pointing out, that using a CLC-Filter after the rectifier is an improvement over the standard RCRC-Filter. Several DDDAC DIY enthousiasts have been reporting the positive sound impact of using CLC instead of RCRC only. The Magic Power Supply from the Audio…
UPDATE February 4th, 2024 Dear DDDAC Fans, Feb 4th. The Boards are back from the SMD Assembly. I will test if all is 100% and than the kits will be prepared by Audio Creative and shipped out to the customers. I have made a few extra boards, if you are still interested, send me…
Doede’s (DDDAC) “DD MC PRE PRE” “Something completely different” I too listen a lot to vinyl (LPs). Mainly inspired by Marco and Dick, who are playing with their restored Garrard series and brought their beautiful arm “Groove Master” to the market, I decided to beef up my analog playing gear. First, I built a…
The chronicle of this successful DIY-Project and a suggested roadmap for upgrading I just realized; it is already 10 years ago I designed the first version of the DDDAC1794! So, I thought it to be a good idea to write a short chronicle of the DDDAC history. The DDDAC1794 which is still available as…
Final clock upgrade for my DDDAC This is supposed to be the last and “final” blog about clocks. In the previous parts I did a lot of testing and reviews on all kind of oscillators for use in a DAC and for use with Ian Canada FiFoPi and Reclocker (The reclockPI). Ultimately, for me…
NewClassD Neutron Star 3 Clock Daniel from Berlin was so kind to send me this summer (yes sorry for late response and post !) his newly acquired NewClassD Neutron Star 3 Clock for comparison with the Andrea TWTMC (The Well Tempered Master Clock). The comparison was not 100% apples and apples as this was…
Today Tests What’s on the menu today? A short meal this time, but hopefully as interesting as short 🙂 “Jürgens” Clock – with thanks to Mamal from Berlin Listening to the possible impact of power supply to the Andrea Clock Jürgens Clock Mamal from Berlin wrote me an email after reading the earlier posts…
Follow up from the earlier Post! In the earlier post I went into a lot of detail on this topic, so you might want to refer this post as well. In this second part I wanted to compare the new Accusilicon 338. I now finally received these with the Chinese parcel service but still…
More background on this special DDDAC output transformer (OPT) Already in the very early days of the DDDAC I wanted to be able to use the PCM1794 to it full content in Mono Mode by means of an OPT. This would give the following benefits: Effectively doubling the number of DACs (like doubling the…
Introduction Here you see the well known DDDAC Power supply. I designed it to go together with the DDAC1794 kits, Of course it can also be use for many other audio applications. As DDDAC kit it comes as “5V” or “12V” version. As it is adjustable, the range is a bit wider than that…
I started using this Blog-Site subdomain from dddac.com to blog my audio adventures 🙂 I will be starting to post here several topics and projects. As I have some projects done in the past, it will not be all very chronological, but more what I like to show for now – It will be…
