A big thanks to Mark Winkler for sharing his excellent ProtoDAC project
I received two TDA1387 x8 modules from AliExpress and whilst waiting for the recommended caps I decided to build a unit on perf board with components I had on hand.
The SQ is excellent and improving as the caps burn in. Natural and non fatiguing sound. Even without optomised components the ProtoDAC is more musically satisfying than PCM50xx chips in other Rpi HAT's I have on hand.
I recommend any moOde DIY enthusiasts to order components or a kit from Mark (@hifiamps) and enjoy a very satisfying result.
