Recap Of The Year 2022

It is almost at the edge of year 2022.

As usual, I always do a recap for what I did in this year.

In this 2022, there is not many DAC project like what I did in 2021. The pandemic is slowly vanished and life continue back to normal. I am now spending most of my time working at the office and just having a little time for this hobby.

The other reason it is simply because I already exploring almost all popular vintage multibit DAC in 2021.

But there are few project I 've done this year which they are always be different.

I always exploring the new idea especially when implementing the DAC I built. The GIC filter is one of the new things for me which the result is quite spectacular. The others is using the vacuum tube output for the PCM1704 non-oversampling DAC and 24 bit USB XMOS digital receiver. The DAC with this implementation brings very natural sound.

I take this post cover with my previous built, is the ultimate AD1865NK DAC which I just open up the cover again and see inside.

PCM63 DAC Build - My End Game DAC

To closing this year, I think I wanna fill it with the new project.

I will build another PCM63 DAC.

As you might ready my post here, I put this PCM63 DAC at my top tier list and this might be my last DAC built, my end game DAC.

Looking back since 2 years ago, I am more focus to build the vintage multibit DAC. This building process are become an addiction for me. The project are start from finding those rare vintage IC components, designing the whole circuit, point-to-point connection to the layout and decide the final appearance of the DAC unit itself. Those steps are very entertaining for me, not to count the sound quality result from all my DAC built are fantastic.

Same like this build, as you all know that none of my DAC are built the same. In this build is also should be different from what I previously built here

So let's continue.
