AYA dac

[Audiocom AV]

I can have a search around if you like?

Yes, I would appreciate that

Also, have you ever heard the Marantz Project D-1 DAC? I have never seen one in the UK and wondered if it might be a Japan only model, see here;

The D1 was released at a similar time to the CD7 and used DSP circuitry in place of the SAA7220 digital filter.

I've not seen or heard the D-1 Mark, it looks a very nice bit of kit though looking at the pics, it also looks like the I/V stage is full discrete which is good to see.
I'd actually be tempted by that if I didn't have the diy dac


Well mate, not having much luck finding a source for the S2's I was told this guy was good but it seems he's now out of stock too http://www.efuns.net/diyer/

Picking up a stash of 80s 'stripe' TDA1541A for between £10 & £15 is a good way to go. I can't find the thread but some guys tested all of the TDA1541A variations and date codes. The earlier 'stripe' models were deemed to be better than 90s ones. Will post here if I find it.

Could buy 8 matched: http://www.ecdesigns.nl/kits/kits.html

Could these be genuine?

The four I got from him were. How would you fake one?

[Mike]

I've no idea Nick. There was some talk about 'fakes' earlier that's all.

Yes, but they were the selected types, the S1 and S2 grade.

Ah... indeed it was.
