Sony GMD-700 Car Shelves For Auxiliary Input

It is not something that I intended to buy, but honestly, this things is not a common product. I bought it at local online store for less than US$17 and it is SONY GMD-700, a 1 Din Auxiliary Box but it is expensive in my opinion for only a drawer.


Perhaps, this is the product that not many people using it in my country. But compares to the origin of this product, Japan, most brand new car doesn't include an audio system. That is why this unit come in handy. Others option to use this product is because of the changing of the 2 din head unit to a single Din.

The package is simple, a carton box with typical Sony manual inside. You also get several bolt to attach this unit to the OEM car bracket.

The manual is in Japan language. You don't need to translate it anyway, this product do tell the function.

And here it is.

Nice finished in my opinion.

Open the shelves and here is the place to put your mobile phone or a portable audio player. There also a thick layer of foam to keep your gadget in place.

Sadly it is comes with very poor quality connector.



That is why I decide to remove the cable and change it to the better one.

Only unscrew four bolt underneath the unit and open the tab at the back.

It is open very easy.

Now it is more clear to see the foam inside of the shelves.

All the disassembly parts and ready to put the new cable.

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.

PCM56 R2R Non Oversampling DAC Built

From early this year, I am start to playing a lot with the multibit DAC. They are from Sony CDP TDA1541A here , Nakamichi DAC-101 dual TDA1541S1 here , Clarion DRX-9255EXL PCM1702 here  and Clarion HX-D1 PCM1704 here . What I said playing with them is actually more suitable words because none of them are built by myself. I only study and exploring those unit then make some upgrade especially on the power supply components, signal capacitors upgrade, and bypassing the unused internal circuit for more clearer yet natural sound quality. This upgrade make a lot improvement compare to the first time I listen from it and I can really enjoy what the designer from each manufacture deliver the sound they would like to perform in those units. Those said units are categorized as a parts of hi-end audio system and I really now familiar with the sound signature from each of them. But to be honest, I am not satisfy yet with this condition. Because none of them is built by myself from ground up. ...
