ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 project

[hifinet]

Folks

Very happy with my protoDAC build, and great instructions to work to. Lovely, rich, and clear sound thru my 43 year old Rotel 820BX and Tannoy Mercuries. But, by God, was doing the soldering hard work - my eyes are a fraction of what they used to be! 

One minor point. I do hear a minor 'click' thru the speakers when I press 'play' in moode, a fraction of a second before the selected track starts playing. I think this is protoDAC related.  Annoying rather than fundamental, and no evidence the issue persists once the track is up-and-running

Any thoughts on why I have got this and a possible fix?

Best, Simon P

Hi Simon P,

Thank you for the kind words.

I think the click is module related. Probably one chip on the module. The fix is to replace the module. Not an easy thing to do, unless you have excellent desoldering equipment. Do you get a click before each track in the playlist, or just at the beginning of the first track?
