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, Google Nonoz III dac for 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.

We could not get the CS8412 in DIP house, so we decided to build a small converter pcb.
