It is been a while I am out of making a DAC. I am enjoying what I have right now and just listening the music through my audio system.
My audio system is consisting of the 300B amplifier and DAC that sitting next to it. I was thinking that the DAC not the main unit to be shown, but the 300B is. The DAC is basically a simple and plain box that convert the digital to analog. I look at many commercially available DAC and they are all physically look the same. Many of them have only LEDs to indicate the sampling rate, inputs, and operation status. Few of them have their own LCD to show the same things like LEDs but in more fancy display. That display, or LEDs indicator are not really important if we honest to ourself when we are pure listening to the music and enjoy it.
So, I want to try something new in DAC project. The things that more universal and easier to use, rather bulky box DAC unit. The DAC that is small enough to hide away from the main show of the system but still maintain the good sound from high performance DAC.
Let's get started.
