I can't say enough. Thank you thank you thank you. The information you provide with your videos is not only inspiring but opens the door for enjoyment. Truly inspiring.

[larsv]

Please keep doing these kind of improvements and videos.

Love the DIY community - keep tinkering with cool stuff like this.

[markkilpatrick]

I liked how you kept stacking the components on top of each other.

[nadeembrossard]

This is exciting Thank you, the Gabster TD1 Dac looks amazing and can not wait to assemble one (ordered)

[advanrooij]

Great video. Using two TDA1541A's. Nice solution.

[benjaminlloyd]

I don't need it yet, but I will buy two to run balanced later in the year. Really nice work!

Thanks for putting this out in the world and congrats for making it happen. A couple of questions (1) would a discrete op amp like Sparkos add to this dac - or the op amp you've selected "good enough" (2) when it comes to clean-ness of DC voltage, how does typical and readily avaialable 7AH/12V SLA batteries stack up against the top of the line powersupplies that you're recommending.

[mpdsystems]

Nice design. Maybe next PCB order you can have them put the surface mount components on there for you?

[gregcartwright]

I would be very interested as I’m currently using a TDA 1541a dac, would be nice to compare yours to a tube output. Keep up the great job

[rogerhuston]

Sounds interesting, but what does this dac compare to? The soundstage is big compared to what?

[petejacob]

So if I want to use an old dvd rom how do I connect and configure?

[ronnyskaar]

Can you make a video about how to connect it to Ian"s streamer based on the pure pi? Or is it obvious?

[dt]

Just ordered pcb. Do I have to wait 8-10 wks? Where to buy TDA1541A? Wide range in price. Would the cheaper ones be a mistake?

[oliviersoufflet]

Hi
Thanks for this project so where is possible to buy TDA1541S1 ?

[murat.eraydin]

oh that IC socket might destroy sound stage and depth. and the spikes... are they there to stop electrons vibrating?

[nnn-vx]

Please get only 1 per household guys. Otherwise we all can’t get.

[Ivy]

Hello can this DAC be built with USB input?
