I suspect one of the 4x modules would resolve the distortion issue though I really am quite keen to get back to my TDA1541 S1 chip. Much better than the TDA1543 DACs I've tried. It has incredible presence and sound stage, it just lacks the rich tonality of the TDA1541 S1 sounding much more like a modern DAC tonaly though while having many of the characteristics of a 1541. That said aside from distortion on peaks the the 8x module does sound very good. Likewise the DAC will be going NOS rather than oversampling as I believe the oversampling chip causes sibilance. It'll do the trick until new gold sockets arrive to replace the stock one. I've temporarily installed a 8x TDA1387 module which has fatter legs though doesn't really do the trick as it has double the output of a my TDA1541 S1 and overloads the OPAMPS causing distortion on peaks in the music. The spring clips are not making proper contact with the legs of the chip. I've run into some issues with my Muji Studio DAC II recently playing just static and have narrowed the problem down to the DAC chip socket.

Though, having said that, one can get 90% of the benefits of the NOS DAC and overall better sound using an oversampling DAC in a particular way, or with an oversampled NOS DAC using particular oversampling methods. That makes sense - if you had upsampled to a high sampling rate using normal upsampling methods, you'd have effectively turned your NOS DAC into an oversampling DAC and lost the benefit of the NOS. That said, if I were to try a new DAC I'd be incllined to try something like the Denafripps Ares 2. Still the only modern DAC I've heard and used that I like is the Gieseler Gross.

Compatible with Windows 95 through to 10, Mac computers, iPhons, iPads, Android devices, Linux computers, BSD, you name it. Likewise pretty much any device or operating system I've tried can use these DAC's without needing to worry about drivers. This has definitely benefits as it requires a good deal less processiing power to achieve. In fact I upsample 44k content to 48k and downsample everything else. More recently I've gone to using DAC's based on the old vintage Phillips chips (TDA1541A S1, or TDA1387) and have found the same sonic benefits while just running PCM 16 bit 48k without the necessity to upsample.

Though I may be tempted to mod it Edited Decemby MattyW That said, if I were to try a new DAC I'd be inclined to try something like the Denafripps Ares 2. Likewise, I think it's a case of very little actual progress since the 90's with manufacturers focussing on specs rather than how something actually sounds. That said I think the only reason these DAC's can compare is that I've made some modest upgrades on them in terms of OPAMPS, capacitors etc. Compatible with Windows 95 through to 10, Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, Android devices, Linux computers, BSD, you name it. This has definite benefits as it requires a good deal less processing power to achieve. I used to upsample content in JRiver to 4x DSD back when I had my Gieseler Gross DAC and I did see a noticeable improvement in realism and sound stage when doing so.
