DAC output stage

September 18th, 2019, 9:48 pm

In 2001 with help of folks in another forum, I replaced the opamp with a pair of nickel 1:2 75ohm transformers. The improvement was huge. I still have the transformers and want put them to use.

DIYINHK is selling a dual mono Ess9038 based DAC. The best feature of the DAC is, you easily hookup a custom IV and LPF stages easily.

Going to order the DAC to play around . Any ideas for an “audiophile” grade LPF and tube IV stage. We can collaborate if interested.

Confused
If you are going to use the transformers why do you need the tube I/V

If the IV and LPF stages are modularized, transformer or tube IV stages can be hooked up easily.

Andrea Ciuffoli published the schematic of his tube IV stage.
