A few years ago, Elektor Magazine had an
interesting DAC project
with high end aspirations based on the Burr-Brown (now Texas Instruments)
1794 DAC for a modest price.
I found this definition on the website of Radius Power:
Despite the fact that the headphone amplifier really sounded very good (it’s
incredibly fast making my headphones sound more like electrostatic headphones),
I wasn’t really happy with the measurements I made with the
QA401 Audio Analyser.
After the successful prototype around the TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier
I wanted to build something that could easily be used day by day on your
desktop or next to your listening seat. I.e. having a nice enclosure,
preferably with a build in power supply (I hate those wall-warts).
Hence a take 2 of the design where I also took the opportunity to try out
some new things.
Since I was so impressed with the performance of the TPA6120A2 I decided
to build a more finished product which you can find in a later blog post
