Change the following resistors R8,R9,R14,R17 to 30k And these caps C32,C33,C34,C35 to 150pf

Changes on the DAC

Changes on the DAC

The following values was changed:

R8,R9,R14,R17 to 30kC32,C33,C34,C35 to 150pf

Added pulse transformer on coax SPDIF

Changed Opamp to lm 4562 after adding pulse transformer

Lifted pin 2 of the CS4397 and connected it to pin 16 of the CS8416 to get 192khz to work.

Changed all important caps to low ERS Panasonic FM.

Changed the external filter to correct values, R2 becomes 3k, C22 becomes 22nF, and C23 becomes 1 nF.

It now sounds excellent!

Im on my way to add an discrete output stage and just override the opamps. Just some small bugs that needs to be fixed.
