Been reading a bit about this dac these days. Very intriguing piece of gear. Purposeful and focussed design with a specific target in mind. Interesting chip and design choices.
The dac seems to have a good following. Mostly coming from a matter of choice to stay with the 1704 chip, design choices and magic therein.
On each channel of the DAC Master 7, Audio-gd uses four Burr-Brown PCM1704K analogue digital convertors. The PCM1704K is compatible with 24 bits to 192 kHz digital audio signals, having only one channel and the ability to invert the phasing of the signals. The conversion is R2R and only uses the digital signal bits to reconstruct the analogue signals acting on a network made up exclusively of resistances that have a given value (R*) and their double (2R) without passing via any sampling.
Anyone has any experience with the dac ?
