Heaven.
I have been in contact with Mark and he provided a couple of links for output caps value vs phase shift and following input impedance.
( I will let him add these)
I get it now! Joyous experimenting with this ProtoDac.
There is this big triangle of output cap value, following input impedance,supply electrolytic value and then all the variations of the component quality.
Add to that the Pi versions and performance/access/connection and you have much to play and experiment with.
For years I have searched for a Digital Playback that would give me the thrill of my Well Tempered Classic - Koetsu Rosewood front end and the sound-stage height, width, life, and depth that that brings. (yes, lots of set-up and ongoing tweaking) but especially height!
This ProtoDac , unlike any other digital device I have tried, does it for me !
Today for experimenting, using the very basic DIY version with 3.3uF output caps into pre-amp input@47k.
3.3uF caps and 2x1000uF electrolytics.
Some years ago I bought a Philips CD player and when it died I harvested anything that could go in the parts bin.
So, I was using 2x Nichicon 1000uF electrolytic but replaced one with a Phillips from the cd of the same era as the module.
Such magic that, once run in, I will be trying 2 of them.
omg these Phillips caps have balls! and speed! air, dynamics,and coherence, (and all the subtlety too)
As they run in it gets better and better.
