nopants Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 from my five minutes of shitty googling: pcm1795 lm2876 chipamps 4580 opamps (for what I'm not sure, I/V duty?) It seems like a solid set of parts for an all-in-one. Can't see much else so I don't know if there's a separate headphone amplifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I liked the Wadia PowerDAC that I had, similar type of unit. This seems to take it a step further with the DSD input, plus line in & out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I think he's talking about the fan on the back panel. Although I am now so thoroughly entertained by the peanut gallery's contributions that I almost didn't say anything.

nopants Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Well it is sort of a valid point, the dust buildup will be substantial. It's quite busy in there, must be an EMI nightmare. On a related note, for those with a bigger budget, I found this in the related images search - http://www.amazon.com/Sony-HAPZ1ES-Hi-Res-Player-System/dp/B00FFZD29Q Internals Seems like it might be a more compelling unit in some of your audiotistic setups. If you were anal about fans I could imagine some bullshitting with an SSD and/or heatsink would go a long way in this unit.

I indeed was just talking about that fan, if you misunderstood and were insulted in some way my apologies. But yeah the thing i don't like about fans mostly is the smaller they are the more annoying the noise is. Even more so if it starts to wear out or has to spin too fast. And indeed the dust is an issue as well, judging by the label the fan is set to suck air out of the case which creates negative air pressure which in turn makes the case a giant dust magnet. Maybe it only spins at a certain power output but i doubt it given how busy it is inside that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Well they did make that SCD-XA777ES, was it? That Justin favors so much. So maybe we should disconnect the fan and put in some passive cooling, and/or recase it with a larger quieter specialized fan before we give up on it. And by we, I mean one of you DIY guys.

DefQon Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 EMI filter cores? Hmm hopefully nothing like the badly designed SACD series Sony had back in the day that all had grounding issues with the PCB's. Sweet looking 1TB music player though.

Dusty Chalk Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I do. Especially when I'm drunk. That's a tweak, man. It does iOS and Android, I wonder if it does linux. That's one thing I miss about this HRT, it stops working every time I switch over to linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
