How about a WAD DAC kit?

[Bernard Gibbes]

Tube output, 24/192, NOS, quality power supply.
Hmmmmm?

Sounds a good plan. One mod I'd like to suggest: could we make it 176.4 rather than 192? Asynchronous upsampling looks to me like causing as many problems as it solves.

See the Sticky by Richard if you don't know how to do this.

I think the distinct lack of movement on this is due to the fact that a lot of us are presently making movements into dacs of the non-over-sampled description but are a long way from making any conclusions yet.

Overall i think that a dac kit of some description would be a great seller for WD. Definately stick some sort of glassware in there but im not in a place to say what sort of sampling rate would be best.

How about making the sampling and filtering user definable/switchable?

I would say two levels of power supply would be a good idea, or maybe anouther "box to add on later" supply like a cyrus psx thingy. That would be fun!

Just my thoughts.

Hi-i agree.the wart power supply i got with my DAC was ok (quite good actually) but my switched mode supply is (a bit) better and not that expensive.
perhaps we need a "DAC shootout" ?

might be interesting to try the tube buffer from another thread.
