Audiophilia

Space devoted to matters of High-Fidelity and Vintage Audio.

Here are my interests and knowledge in this area.

With particular emphasis I will publish information about modifications on CD players equipped with PHILIPS TDA1541A DAC.

There will be also a space, put at the disposal of any interested in the acquisition, or modifications of any CD Player with that particular DAC.

Sanyo OS-CON

Here my favorite capacitor for digital: SANYO OS-CON (SPEC) Sanyo OS-CON is an electrolytic capacitor unlike other electrolytics. While the rest uses eletrolytic solution and manganese dioxide as  eletrolyte, OS-CON uses a high conductivity organic semiconductor. O rganic S emi CON ductor. What is great about using organic semiconductor?     High conductivity (low resistance value) compared to other electrolytes.     High conductivity - stability against temperature. OS-CON has almost the same construction as an aluminium electrolytic capacitor, and the element consists of rolled aluminium foils.   The difference between OS-CON and other aluminium electrolytics is that organic semiconductor crystal is impregnated instead of conventional electrolyte solution.  As a result, we are talking of Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) that approaches that of film capacitors.   Impedance frequency characteristic of OS-CO...

TDA1541 Dual 16-bit DAC IMHO SIMPLY THE BEST DAC IN THE WORLD GENERAL DESCRIPTION The TDA1541 is a monolithic integrated dual 16-bit digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) designed for use in hi-fi digital audio equipment such as Compact Disc players, digital tape or cassette recorders. Features · Selectable two-channel input format: offset binary or two’s complement · Internal timing and control circuit · TTL compatible digital inputs · High maximum input bit-rate and fast settling time. QUICK REFERENCE DATA Supply voltages pin 28 VDD typ. 5 V pin 26 VDD1 typ. -5 V pin 15 VDD2 typ. -15 V Supply currents pin 28 IDD typ. 45 mA pin 26 IDD1 typ. 45 mA pin 15 IDD2 typ. 25 mA Signal-to-noise ratio (full scale sine-wave) at analogue outputs (AOL; AOR) S/N typ. 95 dB Non-linearity at Tamb = -20 to +70 °C typ. 1¤2 LSB Current settling time to ± 1 LSB tcs typ. 1 ms Maximum input bit rate at data input (pin 3) BRmax min. 6 Mbits/s Maximum clock frequency at clock...
