Diy vs AN-DAC 3

Because we weren’t looking for just yet-another-technical-solution to a ‘well-defined’ implementation problem, and hence because a good enjoyable sound was given top priority, our design decisions have mainly been guided by extensive (sometimes blind) listening sessions. This implies that lots of design decisions are subjective in nature, which to our opinion is an advantage instead of a disadvantage. It is very difficult to translate one’s preference into technical quantities or technical solutions. So, finding a good balances between well-known technical properties of electronics, and a correlation with our perceptive observations (and preference) have been the most creative part of this project. Although we haven’t found answers to all questions, the final result is - in our opinion - a very nice DAC! Direct comparison with the Audio Note DAC-3 (which started all of this) reveals that our final product sounds at least an order of magnitude better in almost all aspects (confirmed by at least 2 AN-DAC 3 owners). Our DAC has gained a lot of appreciation by many people, resulting in an initial batch of 25 samples.

Kan godt være sant. Men dac 3 som det refereres til her er 12 år gammel. AN er kommet en lang vei siden det. En 12 år gammel dac 3 får du sikkert også relativt rimelig brukt.
Bare en tanke.

Men det finnes en masse interessante diy dacer rundt omkring på nettet. Selvsagt også AN dac kits.

www.diyaudio.com under digital delen av forumet finnes en masse interessante prosjekter. Deriblant en link som heter "building the ultimate TDA1541 dac" eller noe i den dur. Masse lesestoff, men veldig interessant.
