And how do you keep the noise from the charging supply out of your amplifier? Is that a switcher?!? You're joking. Pass.

Hello Gabi, greate tutorial. I ordered my first PCB from JLCPCB thanks to your video.

Great video Gabster! You should feature your assistant more often!

아주 멋지네요!!! 좋은 영상 감사합니다!!! ❤❤❤

I rewired my entire audio room with nordost Valhalla power cord cable to get the purest possible sound. I then opened up all my audio hi-fi components and removed all the lines and replaced them with small bits of Valhalla wire and soldered them in. The end result gives me pure sound unlike no other. The sound is so pure I experience something akin to autonomous sensory meridian response euphoria.

These look amazing, I am sure so is the taste!!! Great video and easy to follow recipe 👌

My TD 160 lives on a shelf fixed to the wall.....never had a problem!

Mr, Gabster....you are so talented....I could taste the Maamoul.

thanks for your video! why didn't you just build an analog active crossover instead of using a bad quality dsp?

Very helpful Gabster. I did this a while ago. It makes a good difference to the quality of sound.

Hi Gabster Is that possible 5v UcConditioner work on 3.3 v ? I want to change the voltage if it is possible . Thank you

Wow, brings back some long forgotten memories. My nana used to make these with dates and pistachios, and although mom did a fair amount of Lebanese baking, she never made Maamoul.

So excited to have a new recipe for gift giving! Can’t wait to try these and great delivery. “Maamoul!!”

❤

Wow ! A smart audiophile ...this guy builds his own equipment and cables ! He's not going for the i can out spend you method of audio, he knows science and good electronic knowledge. You can out spend him if you want, but just like the car that fly's by you on the highway only to be seen later on the side of the road for speeding?

They look really good! I think I would like pistachios and cashew mix! 👍🏻

I will be expecting a sample of those delicious Maanouls!

hello what cable diameter AWG did you use for the power supply? red black green? thanks

@CtoscanCk-p3f il y a 11 jours Ck hello do you think it is possible to use this item with one amplifier transistor marantz for example and one tube amplifier (the Yves cochet ALun 6550 tube) with just one pair of speaker not two on the Neo Maybe it is not good to let on the tube amplifier without speaker cause it need charge Im french so excuse me for my english not really good

Any update on clocks, cases, upgrades?

Hi, @Gabster1 I searched the internet for an answer, but could not find it and since you are very knowledgeable, what is the difference between FifoPiMa and Fifopi Q7, first is running in Master clock mode and other in sync mode. But that unfortunately does not tell me much.

Hi, is The Cambridge CD4 just as good?

Beware of plasma TV's, my Panasonic Plasma is a huge source of EMI. Be careful to route any audio cable away from a plama tv.

If you're going to add a massive whack of capacitors, use varying types, for frequency filtering (and gap of) overlap.

WTF is this obscure wankery? There are plenty of Arduino (and not-Arduinos) that can do USB to I2S. Teensy 4 for example, SAMD21 (not the Xiao), some ESP32s. The cost on those range from $5 to $35.

Hi Gabby... How much current does the board draw when playing music for +5V -5V and +15V ?

Thank you Gaby I like how you simplify things to make it easy to understand I will try ordering from JLCPCB it will be a good step in my DIY journey

Interesting path, isn't it important to verify the improvement 1st ?????

Holding back the years - Carmen Gomes Inc. is a beautiful song and also beautifully recorded.

If you never come to me (live) - Paulien van Schaik, Hein van de Geyn a very beautiful and pure recording…

Anette Askvik - Liberty is one of the most beautiful songs for a high end installation!

Tune!!!!!!!❤❤❤

I'm genuinely trying to understand what the issue is with these quarts cristals. Is it just a issue with their tolerances? Because if i try to understand what is going on from a physics perspective it doesn't make any sense that one would be able to hear differences between quartz cristals as long as their timing tolerances are measured to be within specs and a competent thermal compensation circuit is in place. This line of thought would also imply that a secondary clock is quite useless if the primary clock meets the requirements. Please don't see this as personal criticism. I'm trying to understand how this works.

I always wanted to learn how to design and order PCBs. Thank you for this series I like the easy start, perfect for my level.

You should explain what output stage is 😂😅😊

The voight pipe is even better at matching a speaker to the environment. See tech ingredients 2nd best speaker ever. ❤❤

Iwill have a NUc like yours but new with Ram and SSd and windows...sholuld I delete everything in advance?

Use a turntable shelf mounted to your wall. You’ll find that best

I lost any of respect, I had to you, now. Why do you promote such a shit?

Is there a way to get optical from a computer to work with the protodac?

These would be far better then a small USB speaker or great tv speakers

Thank you Gaby, for these sugestions i do apriciate. Here's two of my own, First for the sound stage: Eric Bibb track 1, in the real world, The other one is: Dear black woman by Isaac Janai This one is for the base it goes realy Low, Carefull with the Volume. Enjoy ,

Scientists are still trying to find the reason behind the correlation between number of audiophiles in a neighbourhood and the increased noise in its power network. Meanwhile, the only proven way to get clean power is to move to neighbourhoods with no audiophiles. 😉👍

I am Impressed by all that Layers of Shielding and - of Course - by the very nice Woodwork, which lifts it up on another Level! Im building a own DAC atm based on 2x TDA 1540 D/A Converters :)

I appreciate your your informative videos. I'm planing to make a streamer like that in the video. Iancanads's new FifoPi Q7II comes with new "ultra-low-phase noise XOs." They look quite different than the ones in your FifoPi Q7. Do you know whether these are as effective as the Accusilicons and/or Crysteks? Thank you.

As always great review and great information. One question will the Burson V7 Vivids fit inside the case or will I have to grab my Dremel and mod the case or buy the connectors that Burson sells that allow you to install them 'sideways'? TIA

Hi, i have been following your and other people's dac projects with the intent to build my own. I appreciate your take on the power supply question. Unfortunately, i only have limited financial resources so I will have to be creative. I already have a simple raspberry pi 3b streamer with a even more simple cinch s/pdif hat connected to the internal dac of my amplifier. I have several working and not working TDA CD players, so no shortage of chips. But im not sure what DAC I'm actually going to use. You see, I was thinking of putting more of my funds into the output stage by using the Lampucera design. That tube design uses a more modern dac chip that has a s/pdif input. It looks as gorgeous as it sounds if i may believe the people that have build it. So, my idea is to use your supercapacitor power supply design to power a Lampucea. As for the DAC chip itself, i'm torn between using a TDA or the one in the original design. In theory the TDA should be superior and it has a sound i know well from my CD players but it might be to warm for that already quite warm output stage that works so well with it's more modern dac. I will have to sleep some more on that I think. 😂 My dac project should also have a quality headphone stage as i use my headphones more than my speakers. Again not sure what design would be better for the headphone, a tube or a opamp. To warm is a thing. Anyway, enough rambling from me. I will have to do more thinking on a somewhat budget friendly final design that suits my needs.

Great video. Using two TDA1541A's. Nice solution.

Thanks, appreciate your honest comments.
