More RTZ DAC Fun.

I’ve finally got around to making a box for the RTZ DAC I acquired from Ray, a month ago. Our Ant is simply too busy with work to have the time to make a box for it, so I decided to cobble something together myself. Made from steel mesh, bent and bashed into shape, plus a Poundland bamboo chopping b...

Re: OK…so I’m on wi’ summat

OK, Quite a while ago I split the power supplies into two channels after the Hammond 10H choke, by using a 2 x Sowter CB25, 20H, 50mA chokes to feed the left and right channels. This meant fitting an extra 30uF motor run cap. I know I said there would be no more schematics, but it is a bit difficult...

Re: Mac Mini as a Music Server

I took the first step towards a decent streaming setup today. I set up my 2020 Mac Mini M1 to stream lossless via Apple Music. IMG_0329.jpeg The Mac outputs digital, via a short USB cable to the M1 DAC for now. However I hope to be sorting out the RTZ DAC PDQ as the receiver for the Mac Mini. My M1 ...

Cheers Ray. Glad you liked it. I’m certainly pleased with the amp. :)

Re: GM70 Amplifier

I’d definitely recommend AMC Paul.
I’m going tomorrow evening too. TBH I’ve missed it over the past two weeks, so it'll be nice to get back.

Re: OK…so I’m on wi’ summat

The audio circuit itself is nothing to do with me. Because of the nervous breakdown and its consequences. I can't even begin to design anything myself. I've simply had enough. I had loved this hobby for many years, but it became an obsessive, compulsive disorder in the end. The hobby itself wasn't t...
