in the end, you can't prove anything with that picture.. end of case
I'm still enjoying my DAC, regardless where it came from
From the site it sells cheaper but of course those who bought from/bulk from other place will know international shipping just kills everything!

btw, I got a pm from that fellow as well. You can't just pm chchyong about it and ask him directly? Right now, ur making it big fuss. Why don't u sell yours away and get from that site directly?

I'm just thankful cos i get to get this DAC here

anyway.. the performance prove its...

Won't la. the new DAC is "cut cost" version, it will minimize
all the features. There is no SPDIF output, no RCA output.

Taking the DACPORT as reference, so no copyright crashing issues.

-DACPORT is using up-sampler, it can greatly reduce the jitter, but human ears cannot hear
the difference - so REMOVE.

-It is using TPA6120 amplifier, I don't like it - REMOVE.

How if your opinions?

Very first, I don't think a reputable site like Hifimediy will be so cheapskate to copy other ppl's design. They had been making cheap and good DAC/Amp for quite some time. Their DIY amp even got reviewed by Headfonia before. http://www.headfonia.com/hifimediy-tk2050-.../#disqus_thread

I have contacted Hifimediy by sending them a message regarding this issue. Hope they will come and clear up the doubts soon. Please keep the thread open until then. I believe the righteousness will be served.

House it up! For beauty and EMI/RFI reduction

my feedback.. i have no idea on sound engineering whatsoever, just reply on my own ears
i like the mid and high on the curren WM8501 but would love to have more bass on it if possible
any chance for a mod on that?

The previous post has said before,

A little soldering skill, bypass the output decoupling capacitor with 0.01uf Vishay Roderstein should help it out. It gains overall details too

Want meh? cut cost la

What if 2 version leh? Casing and non casing version

But sure i will choose the casing version

No idea on what you've just said bro. No knowledge in these sorta thing
but your explanation sounds cun oh

Find leg from the yellow cap, solder a 0.01uf non polar capacitor in parallel with it, be sure to keep the 0.01uf leg very very short.

ish, i dun dare lah
later i bakar the PCB, err i think i just stick with the stock hehe
thx anyway

btw, if it's not generating too much heat, i would third the notion of giving option for a case or not as well
when bring out with lappy, can protect much better from rough travelling in the bag

by using this skill can add more bass for this unit ??

ya...better come out with 2 version...naked and non naked..

or... + some bucks for casing...can gain ur sale as well..

in that casing put ur own trademark or wat so ever.. eg...serial number..etc etc

i wana custom put my name can? (optional, not a must)

btw, this thread off topic from the original already?
maybe chchyong should open a new one and we discuss there..

agreee.....

That PCB is very good, won't bakar as easy as you thought.

It is not generating heat leh, at most i feel the chip just warm like human body temp.

nope, but it has more refined bass.

Case solved, just have a nice talk with my manufacturer. HIFIMEDIY is also a partner of the manufacturer
that solder my DAC out. Throughout the DAC's development because he is actually sharing ideas to me to
make few revisions from prototype towards the final outcome. So it's basically we are designing together.
In this, I misunderstood that the DAC is only I have the authorization to sell myself. If any in doubt of the
product, you can email to HIFIMEDIY for futher informations. Because we are actually getting the same
dac from the same source.

Peace ending.

Btw, let's challenge for ak4396 on another thread!

Thread close.
