July 5, 200916 yr Parasound has amazing Customer Service. After a google search I was unable to find a schematic for my Parasound DAC. Failing that, this past Saturday, I sent an email to their service department. Within minutes Richard replied that he would look when he got into the office on Monday. I was surprised at the quick response, and on a Saturday at that. Today, Sunday, I received an email from Tony with the schematic attached. How's that for customer service?

Pretty impressive, especially on a holiday weekend. Did he hint at new DACs?
July 5, 200916 yr I'm wondering if that 1100 DAC is the one I owned breifly? I can't remember who I sold it to, but I was impressed with the sound. Congrats Renato!
July 5, 200916 yr Author I'm wondering if that 1100 DAC is the one I owned breifly? I can't remember who I sold it to, but I was impressed with the sound. Congrats Renato! I doubt it. It was bought locally. Thanks. I always wanted an R 2R Dac.
July 5, 200916 yr I doubt it. It was bought locally. Thanks. I always wanted an R 2R Dac. Enjoy, I really like my 1100 as well! Any mods planned?
July 5, 200916 yr Author Enjoy, I really like my 1100 as well! Any mods planned? Possibly... any recommendations?
July 5, 200916 yr Possibly... any recommendations? This is the message Filburt sent me THS4031 for I/V, AD797 for the analog filter/buffer. One thing I noticed is that it seems like there is an extra op-amp in the mix on these things. I need to see a schematic to know what it does >_<. I believe Icarium has a DAC1600 (balanced 1100) that is modded even further. My one complaint about the DAC is the 3 vrms output. But, this is just one of my audio pet peeves and I just get annoyed at anything other than 2 vrms for single ended output.
July 6, 200916 yr thisis insane..i sent Tony an email earlier this morning asking for the DAC-1100 schematics..what do you know..I have an email with the schematics attached..on a sunday!!!

July 6, 200916 yr Hey Renato. Good to hear you've secured an 1100 (I'm guessing it was Cankins?). They are good buys for sure..loving my 1600HD
July 6, 200916 yr Author Hey Renato. Good to hear you've secured an 1100 (I'm guessing it was Cankins?). They are good buys for sure..loving my 1600HD Yes indeed. I'm enjoying it so far. I'm going to come over and steal PCM63P-K's.
July 6, 200916 yr x7 on the CS. One of the 1100s I bought was dropped in shipment and the rack mount/ear of the faceplate bent (those that have seen one can guess how hard it must have hit). Parasound was able after a bit to dig up an old plate, replace and fully test the DAC for a reasonable charge (covered by UPS). NoNoNoNoNoNo, so you found a 1100?

July 10, 200916 yr If possible, would someone be willing to send me a copy of the schematic for the 1100? I hope to make use of it sometime in the fall .
