AD1862 DAC Built - Actually It Is A Rebuilt

In the year 2021, I built AD1862 DAC here

I only published it once and then I never post anything about it again. I guess this is quite unfair for such this good DAC IC not having a good publicity in my blog.

The story when I bought this DAC IC is quite miracle. At that time, I take so much time by searching the next DAC candidate for my DAC built and end up with this AD1862. Suddenly one of my friend offering me to dismantle his hi-end CD Player and the brand is Esoteric. Inside it, there are 4 pieces of AD1862 J grade.

So in this post, I will rebuilt my previous AD1862 DAC to become more compact with smaller chassis.

Let's start the process.

Parallels AD1865 DAC Built

This is a welcoming post in this year 2023.

During the last year holiday, which is last week, I spent lot of my time at home, tidy up my working space especially my desk for doing this electronic hobby.

I guess I will not make any DAC anymore. It is enough and I have experienced all kind popular vintage multibit DAC ever. But, somehow I still have a piece of AD1865 lying on my drawer unused.

And this how the idea of paralleling AD1865 DAC is came from.

Here it is.
