DAC4's KIT:  I2S converter

Scheda convertitore DAC4manuale di istruzioni
The DAC4 is a digital/analogic converter designed to be intrefaced with the I2S connection port of the CD-PRO2 mechanism.
We had developed this converter with the optimum performnca of the CD-PRO2 mechanism in mind.
For this reason this converter use one of the higest performance digital filter / converter available: DF1704 and PCM1704. To increase the performance we have used 2 PCM1704 in parallel on each channel.
As the other ours project, the power supply stage it's very fine: for this reason there are a lot of capacitor to better distribute them on the board. You will find a doble LCL filter to increase the filtering of the spurius frequency. On every capacitor there are the by-pass 0.1uF and 0.01uF mounted as near as possible to the related pin of the integrated circuit. Also the placement of the components is take in consideration to increase the performance of the system.

On this picture you will find a detail of the converter section.

When the DAC4 is placed in our cabinet CONT4's kit and is used with CD1's kit, it is placed under the CD-PRO2 mechanism in way to make short as possible the I2S connection wire to better eliminate the cable interference.

The DAC4 is available in some version: base (direct output from the converter), with operational amplifier and with transformer output.
It's also possible to use our PRE4 with this converter.

The base version of the DAC4 is expecially intended for who want to use it in connection with a DIY valve preamplifier.

In the picture below you will find a base version of the DAC4.
