More discrete R2R Mulibit dacs.


There are many now going to the trouble of doing discrete R2R Mulitbit now that the last/latest Burr Brown PCM1704 multibit chip is no longer available "rip".

Speaking of R2R just picked up a 20 year old Audio Note Dac-3 Signature which uses a K grade BB PCM63 chip which is I believe R2R. It sounds utterly fantastic.

If you care to look/study and compare most dac chip manufacturer data sheets are adhered to for implementation, even some (hiend ones) using even the exact I/V stage and buffer stage that’s on those data sheets.
"Some" (me, Audio Note above ) use different I/V and buffers, but as far as dac implementation itself they nearly all follow the data sheet protocols.
But doing discrete with this topic that's another thing again.

That Terminator DAC does look pretty serious! Thanks for sharing George... Are you going to pursue this one?
Hi George,

I just ordered Ares for use with my TV. I`t will be interesting to see how it competes against my other digital. Never had discrete R2R before.
