Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter??

Tim,

The 1704 is impossible to find anymore TI discontinued it years ago.  There are many fakes around but have been able to find a few genuine in the UK.  Use extreme caution if sourcing BB1704.



Best of Luck

Hi Peter,   thanks for the Advice, I saw a pair of them about 6 or 8 months ago.... What about any of the other R2R DAC chips  that I listed,  are you familiar with any of those.  Have you played with Manufacturing a DAC?  Just curious to get your thoughts. 

The 1704. There are many fakes around but have been able to find a few genuine in the UK. Use extreme caution if sourcing BB1704.

I think this could be a bit of a rumour, as there is nothing cheaper that would work with the same pinout as it, that it can sub’ed for.

Cheers George

For those of you with the DIY knowledge and skills, I noticed a discrete R-2R DIY model on the Soekris site - model dam1021, priced at 179 Euros. I don't quite understand all the technical details but it seems like it is technically comparable to their ~$800+ product that I have pre-ordered. Sounds like a great deal for someone with the right skills.... 

@kalali   Thanks,  this DIY Soekris came out in 2015... this is the problem piece that all the fuss is about.  It may be good,  but I think I'd rather steer away.
