yes you need an amp.

The thing runs only at 16 bit. Any attenuation = loss of information.

Besides, the output stage is not meant for direct drive.

Aww man. More moolah need la liddat :3
Found a sweet deal on hippo box+ but the lack of volume control is a turnoff. I don't want my ears to explode LOL.
What's a good portable amp suitable for this? Aside from FiiO lineup?

you competent with a soldering iron or not?

I has leftover pint PCBs i got for free from hohodiy. I can give you one for free

moolah aside, i'm thinking of making casing for this DAC

Lol I don't even know what those pcb for. Amp circuit? No thanks I might burn my house down.

Eh what happen to your amp project? I suddenly remembered

Aiyoo, give pcb only to him?

You can solder or not? (i have more than one left IIRC)

There's an embarrassingly long story regarding the desktop amp i posted a while ago.

There was a hard disk crash immediately a week later after I posted the circuit. I lost almost 90% of my own work and other valuable resources I've collected over the years. Tried to send it to china for recovery but no dice till now.

It's a great deal of pain I had to go through. Yes I was stupid for not having it backed up. Now I have to rebuild a lot of the things I made before. I have a few new things to offer maybe next month or so. Will post a clarification on the mentioned thread afterwards.


This time everything I have is in the cloud system, albeit minus the huge valuable resources I once had

EDIT: Cringing hard even as I post this. God damn the memories are coming back to haunt me again.

Erm, used to do some soldering on old radios and stuff from a sifu, that was long time ago tho

Ah dude, thats a bummer.. *bro hug*

Just got it

Heat shrink

^A very very good solution to dress up the UD100.

wont it heat the components inside? the back also need to be closed 2 . btw do you make the dac yourself?

i think i'll go for heatshrink since most of my USB case wont fit

Won't heat up la, low power one.

when you apply heat to the heat shrink wont the heat spoil the chips or componet inside?

well, soldering is hotter than heating up the heat shrink sleeve.
so i guess it is totally safe for the components

This.

i got one question.
after i using it with my potplayer, it seem potplayer only can produce sound using the DAC. So ive been using it for watching movies. So, does it change the sound?

change windows sound device to USB audio.
