Hi I'm looking for a dac for my ps3, one of the chinese kit jobs will do.
But must be cheap. :violin: very cheap

I bought one in kit form $15 for the dac and $20 for the case about 20 quid all up plus delivery from hong kong.

I'll see if I can add more details when i get home from work

Both for less than 50 quid

This is th same but with a different case us$36 + post

The photo is my one, I think it looks better in silver.

That £40 jobbie from Richer Sounds could be a reasonable choice and it'll have a guarantee as well...

hi
if its a new thin ps3 it allready has a very good singled ended dac chip without any output opamps or capacitors.
just make a good quality interconnect.

It's the old type, it doesn't sound bad.
But I recently heard one wit an external dac and the difference was huge.
I'll have a look at Richer's, thanks.
I've scoured ebay and cant find any chino bargains on dac kits, only the one with the valve in it.
Thank's for the help, any more ideas will be appreciated. :eyebrows:
