Well I was thinking maybe that output stage that Nick came up with would be very good,not cheap though,you need a pair of Sowter pp output trannies,and a pair of I think it's 6n1p's,which are cheap enough,so the trannies would be the major expenditure-more than the cost of the dac I think!
Thinking about it though,if I was to do that,I may as well do it to the AN rather than the Beresford.
Oops no,it's 6n6p not 6n1p.
I think Nicks circuit was for differential output dacs, I'm still wanting to try one with the Sabre, it does make sense to try something cheaper with the Bdac, something which doesn't scare everybody off price wise :)
Ahh yes I think you're right,I'd forgotten that.Maybe something from the Lampizator site then?
This might be good-

Maybe something like this if valves are too expensiveQuote:

Could also try something based around the Pass B1
You could try it with the AN dac too :eyebrows: if its any better than the supplied AN circuit is the main questionQuote:

I've tried a basic poly cap and haven't noticed any change so far.
Yes, I did it this morning. Swapped out the 10,000uF reservoir cap for 2 x 10uF metallised polyester film caps. I also took out the 22R resistor feeding the +5V Dexa reg, replacing it with a wire link.Quote:
