Simple Resistor For IV Converter AD1865 DAC

On my previous DAC built, the another ultimate DAC build here is basically an oversampling AD1865 DAC using CDX1144, then the current signal from DAC will going to the replaceable module called the IV & LPF combo module. This DAC is including a simple headphone amplifier that was initially built for experimenting various type of IV and LPF, then by using a headphone, I can carefully study how those modules effect to the sound quality.

But I never did it anyway:)

So I think, this is the first time I open it up again since the very first time built. Right now I will testing one simple method of DAC IV converter using only a resistor per channel.

I am really curious how the sound quality with it.

GIC LPF Schematic & TDA1541 USB DAC Updates

My first trial using the GIC LPF is on this TDA1541 USB DAC. The result is surprisingly amazing. You might check the post here for the detail review of this DAC.

I guess it is already few month passes since the built and this TDA1541 USB DAC is still "naked". Not even I think to put it inside a casing. I using this DAC in my test bench, to testing others audio components and I guess this is the time to find a casing for it.

First of all, I don't want fancy aluminum casing. They are expensive. So I take the unused steel box that, a little bit rusty. It is need some cleaning and painting, but at the end it is a nice casing compare if not using any casing at all.

Please continue read this post. At the end of this post, I will share the GIC LPF schematic that I implemented in this TDA1541 USB DAC.

Audeze LCD-2 Headphone Review

For years I was searching a better headphone that I can compete with my currently favorite headphone, is the Sennheiser HD600.

Then, it is happened once I got this Audeze LCD-2 headphone right now.

Other than that, I personally like the design of this headphone more than anything I had before. It is just like a classic headphone which I think Audeze is quite conservative with their headphone design anyway since all of them shared the same design languages.

So let's take a look closer.
