Orient Mako XL Is A Stunning Watch

Lately, I am really enjoying my home audio system. I almost have no time to think about upgrading them. For sure, it is not the best, but I am enjoying listen music through this system very much. On the other hand, I am also quite busy with my work. So many things to do in this early 2017. Across my mind, I want to replace my old watch here with something more luxury. I look no others than this Orient Mako XL. I could say this watch is like love at the first sight:)


The name Orient Mako XL must be large and heavy. But once I wear it, this 44 mm watch seem very fit to my wrist. It is an automatic watch with day and date window. It is looking very cool and the diver status makes this watch look like a pro. It is also looking very expensive. But it is not actually.

My friend telling me that this watch just like Rolex, which I don't think so. This is Orient and this watch has it's own status. The price of this watch? I bought it under US$200. Very value of money.

All I said above is all the pros of this watch. The only cons that I find in this watch that the luminous are low and glow at the hands only. But at the end, this is a nice looking watch with a good price. Who can resist to not having one.

OPA1622 Vs. OPA627 High Performance Op-amps Comparison

This op-amps comparison topic is actually boring, but at the same time, many of us still curious about what others think about it. The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation. The op-amps are considerably cheap and an interchangeable electronic components but they are not built for the same function. So in this discussion, I will focus on the modern Vs. vintage high performance op-amps in the simple non-inverting pre-amplifier gain stage.

Vintage Multibit R2R DAC Tier List

At the very beginning of this year, I committed to explore the best multi-bit R2R DAC. This is simply because I have plenty of the resources (from broken old unit CD player of course) and ability to build them up. If you think this kind a recycle from old un-used unit to become something useful, than I should stated myself giving contribute for greener world:) After all DAC that I built in this year, I think it is better for me to list them up again in one single page like this. Then I will rank them up in a simple tier list. The reason for this, so you all know what my opinion about of those vintage multibit R2R DAC especially in the sound quality.

TDA1543 DAC Review In 2021

It is a fine day and as usual I am reading and searching online contents related to almost anything I like. During my search, I stop to the few online forum discuss about a simple DAC using TDA1543 DAC IC. The discussion about this DAC was about 3 years ago, and the latest was about a year ago. Quite new and overall discussion about this DAC sound quality mostly are positive. It is interesting topic anyway especially I was built this TDA1543 DAC long time ago in 2016. At that time, I combine this DAC with Tripath amplifier  here  and  here  before it sold in 2019. That is also my first DIY DAC and I am quite enjoyed this DAC so much, at that time. The background story about this, previously I was using Sony Playstation SCPH-1002 as my reference CD Player. The reason I moved to this TDA1543 DAC is because the CD optic inside the Playstation is wear out and I cannot find the replacement for it. I pretty remember the sound quality of this TDA1543 DAC is quite comparable...
