Re: Valid Comparison?

Elso,
You would need to do the A/B where you do not need gain, say after the IV converter. If you add a circuit after the IV converter and it sounds the same as not having it then the circuit is pretty good(as a buffer). How a circuit behaves as a IV converter might be way different from using it as a unity gain buffer or even as a straight times 3-10 line stage. Lots of high frequency junk coming from a current out DAC. Many circuits cannot handle it. Wadia has a new zero feedback current mirror circuit that they like much better than op amps for their IV converter.

Yes, no coupling caps is best, but sometimes a simple circuit with a coupling cap will sound better than a complex circuit without.

By the way, I sent you two CS8420s about one week ago. Did you receive them yet?
