Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: FRENCH ART - more on tweaks

In response to the section addressed to "Steve"

You are exactly correct, Claude. If the DAC has differential balanced voltage outputs (positive and negative, out of phase signals) you cannot connect that directly to a triode. This is usually the case with high bit-rate Delta Sigma convertors (like this AK4524). If space were not a premium, you could convert the balanced signal to unbalanced by transformer coupling.

Thank you for the info. You are truely on a mission! I admire your tenacity. ;-)

BTW, one tweek that has helped almost all the digital equipment that I've had is to remove the cover, or remove the PCB from the case. I cannot rationalize it, being that a Faraday shield around the curcuit *should* be the optimum solution. But I usually prefered the sound of my DACs out of their metal coffins.

You might give it a try...... you could always put things right after if it doesn't work.

Please keep us posted with ALL your experiments!

Regards,
Steve
