You introduced an HF filter to the IVY recently to cope with the HF junk on the Buffalo output - right? Or do I mix up things here?<br />I'd appreciate if you could post how it looks like. For the future it's maybe a good idea to put that filter on the DAC board.<br /><br />I am having BG caps installed in my old chain, which are known for its natural fluid sound. Perhaps I need to checkout your PS buffer caps fireing the analog out of the Sabre chip. <br /><br /><br /></td></tr></table>2008-08-17T03:29:14-07:002008-08-17T03:29:14-07:00soundcheck<table class="content postContainer_Alt" width="100%"><tr><td><br />My current 1543 based DAC is still kind of less aggressive.

The ESS DAC is not like most current output DACs. It truly behaves like a voltage output with a series resistance of 195 ohms. As such, no passive I/V is really required or desired, and in fact would just make thinks worse. Just use the voltage output directly for the simplest possible solution.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />Russ</td></tr></table>2008-08-10T17:13:39-07:002008-08-10T17:13:39-07:00Russ White<table class="content postContainer_Alt" width="100%"><tr><td>Hi,<br /><br />Well this is the interesting thing.
