TDA1541 based DAC
Where are you based?
I would avoid most TDA1541A players as they just don’t get the most out of the chip. What is around the DAC chip, the I/V stage and the output stage, are of critical importance.
If you could get one, the Audial AYA 4 would get my vote at Orchid budgets. The new Audial Model S4 is available, but more expensive.
