jeste par poznamek k chipu AK4396 po precteni cele diskuze podrobneji:
Prevodnik s AK4393 mam taky,je ve vyladenym behringeru ultramatch 2496,nehraje spatne,ale tahle deska s AK4396 hraje o poznani lip ve vsech ohledech...
Primy porovnani AK4396 s Buffalo Sabre II jsem delal (mam ho ve svy "sbirce"),ty prevodniky jsou zvukove rovnocenny,plati ovsem ze se ta levna deska musi osadit kvalitnima elytama a udelat slusnej zdroj - staci shottky diody,kvalitni elyt,bypass tantalem,tlumivka,slusnej regulator (ja pouzivam pro 5V LM2940((v jedny verzi na ktery delam mam pro 5V low noise sigma 11)),pro 3,3V LT1587),kvalitni elyt....pokud nekdo udela kvalitni diskretni regulatory a pod tak na tom muze bejt jeste lip...velmi dulezity je v analogovy casti uz nezarazovat zadnej opamp,ale pekne rovnou do toho lampovyho stupne...
Chip AK4396 mi doporucil cca pred dvema roky Lukasz Fikus-lampizator,koupil jsem tu levnou desku osazenou,pokud se dobre pamatuju jiny v ty dobe nebyly,zvuk s puvodnima elytama a opampem se mi zdal hodne dobrej,po vymene elytu za Oscony,shottek ve zdroji a haknuti audiosignalu primo z chipu mne to zvukove uplne sokovalo,za par stovek zvuk jak si predstavuju...to uz jsem pred tim za ruzny jiny DACy a prehravace utratil desitky tisic...
Jeste prikladam cast lampizatorova hodnoceni zvukovyho testu AK4393 a dvou Audionote,tezko se to hleda proto kopiruju a nedavam link,link na cely text o upravach Behringeru ultramatch nasleduje.Podotykam ze ta levna deska o ktery se diskutuje po vyladeni hraje o tridu lip nez behringer,ktery ma AK4393.
The modded behringer was put to test with the Audionote champs: DAC4 ad DAC2. Both have huge investments in blackgates inside, better tubes, PIO caps etc.
DAC2 has the good old BB PCM63 and DAC4 has AD1865.
Behringer was for the first time an equal fighter. Even with the 17 000 Euro for DAC4 (plus 1000 Eu for blackgates and upgrades of the A-Note) the Behringer sound was in my opinion more interesting, with wealth of details presented in a very natural fashion. Behringer was drawing me into the music. Audionote DAC4 had to fight very hard to match that.
After 2 hours - the scale started tipping on the Audio-Note side because of long warm-up of Blackgates. But the fact that such battle was almost equal - is phenomenal success. Behringer is a real mature champion. In my case - the cost did not exceed 200 Euro. Even without my cheap buying price and with somewhat more realistic lampization price - the total cost should not exceed 800 Eu. Wow !
Concerning AN DAC2 SE - the battle (in completely different system) was also interesting. In that system I preferred AN DAC2 because of its super natural "jazzy atmosphere" but on detail, space and rhythm - AN had no chance. So it was down to a personal taste thing.
