Re: WDTV audio server with DC/DC Power Supply

You probably don't understand or I didn't explain myself right. The PS is for the WDTV Live, not for the DAC!

Re: WDTV audio server with DC/DC Power Supply

The output of the WDTV is digital. Digital output is immune to power supply noise.

Re: WDTV audio server with DC/DC Power Supply

Oh my god.

Its the most sensible part. Why? I let you figure why.

 

No fluctuations, no"digitalite", powerfull bass, stage tack sharp, beautiful treble, magical voices, perfect, just perfect.

Probably what I didn't tell you yet is that I've lowered the resistance of the output capacitors to have also very good response to transients (but we could not tell everything, right?) I did something in other places of the circuit, too...

 

Try it and then tell me something. From night to day.

Re: WDTV audio server with DC/DC Power Supply

You will probably hate me as most of my audio collection is 128K mp3 files - arghh. Mind you in my youth I listened to medium wave radio so therefore anything now is hifi to me now. Or as a friend once said why do I need a £1000 hifi when I only have £1 ears.

Re: WDTV audio server with DC/DC Power Supply

I don't know the values of my ears but, my Hi-FI is 1000€ (all). And the most important part (the WD TV only cost me 100€)

I bet that your AM Radio would cost much more (equivalent money value) at the time you hear...:smileywink:

How do you know that I did not use a crystal set! Very small outlay. :smileywink:
