TDA1543 no oversampling DAC.

My brother and I have built a new no oversampling DAC, based on the Philips TDA1543 DAC chip, with  passive I/V conversion, no filtering after the digital to analog conversion. Our DAC is inspired by the Nonoz III dac, check out the links page for a link to Nonoz III dac with schematics. We think it has turned out to be a very successful project, with an exciting new enclosure design. As for the sound we are very pleased with our new little DAC.
The DAC can be remote controlled with a Sony compatible IR remote, through a embeded IR learn function or our IR datalink software. Below you can see some pictures of our design (click on the picture to enlarge it):

All the parts needed for the TDA1543 DAC.
The over side of the main pcb.
The bottom side of the main pcb.
The main pcb, with S/PDIF receiver CS8412, TDA1543 DAC and a 16F877 PIC controlling the apparatus.		pcbfile updated 2008.11.08
We could not get the CS8412 in DIP house, so we decided to build a small converter pcb.		pcbfile updated 2008.11.08
