I bought the same DAC several weeks ago and did some modifications and measured the result as well. Did you do distortion tests as well? If you are interested, please have a look at my web site, I am very interested to share suggestions for further improvements to the DAC.</p> Hi Jacken, Thanks for your interesting modification.

They are cheap and have a nicely designed board. Only 16-bit 48 khz out. Works on Mac and Windows without a driver.</p> An easy and good sounding alternative is to get hold of an Trends Audio USB DAC UD-10. They are cheap and have a nicely designed board.

Congratulations! I recently also got the Lawrence, but in NON-SMD Version. It is my first DAC, and I enjoy it . Now I would like to add an USB input and have two questions:

  1. How could I connect my computer through USB cable to the Lawrence DAC (bypassing the SP/DIF Format)? Can you name suppliers for an appropriate USB input stage?

  2. How could this be realized without creating ground loop hum (PC and Amplifier on different power sockets)?

With kind regards,

thank you very much for this post, it’s being very interesting to read.

Do you happen to have a detailed list of your mods ? (I am not a pro but would love to do it. My DAC is coming next week and I am ready for some soldering work).

Best, Pepe
