If its not a WOLFSON, I won't buy it!
 Since you mentioned SOIC-14, there's a few selections: WM8501, 8521, 8725 and 8726. Any other clues?  This post has been edited by jazzy939: Dec 17 2010, 02:47 PM |

I am just curious on this DAC especially the WOLFSON DAC.
I used to have a 'cap ayam' DVD player bought from TESCO that played audio CD with a good quality sound! It did not last long however as the CD mechanism refused to read any CDs/DVDs after a year(ie warranty expired). At 79.90 I just wanna throw it away but I did open up and have a look at the mainboard. Guess what, there lies a WOLFSON DAC! Teddy Pardo of TeddyPardo High End Audio among the products, is selling a HIGH END DAC that costs more EURO1163, he also uses a WOLFSON DAC albeit a different unit. Link: http://www.teddypardo.com/ Click products then DACs. So let's see how good this WM8501 is against my other two commercial DACs.. It's 'cheap' so what the heck!

I agree!!!
 QUOTE(Najmods @ Dec 18 2010, 01:17 AM) This is MUCH better than the previous PCM2704 USB DAC you bringing. I like the idea PCM2706 convert USB to I2S, then feed to WM8501 which itself don't need any opamp. Would be better if it have RCA out though.  |

Hmmm I see where you're getting at..
Surely it is (electrically) possible to 'tap' the signal from the PCM2706 and port it elsewhere..  QUOTE(gabanyayaya @ Dec 18 2010, 01:30 AM) just wondering can i2s data from the on board PCM2706 be hacked to another dac..??? |

chchyong,
I think the price is justified for the DAC. Any more enhancements or features will serious jack up the prices.. and that I do not want, as I already have two commercial DACs to play with. |
