Hello Guys, Even I'm a Vinyl Addict I still own a CD as many other vinyl orienteds My wife gave me as gift a Philips CDD882 transport plus Dac960 in the 1988 and I still own it [img]http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/534/philipscdyw7.jpg[/img] During the 1996 I modded the Dac 960 for the first time .. changing the stock TDA1541 for the glorious TDA1541 S1 single crown (Holland production) and that has been a really great improvement in sound quality over the stock chipset One month ago thanks to a friend of mine I got a new , still boxed , TDA1541 S1 double crown (Holland! ..not Twainese!) and I changed removing the single crown! Wow!!!!!! Unbeliveable sound! The soundstage opened up to a level never heard in many other newer & higher priced Dacs the detail/inner detail is simple Magic! even the low level detail The sound is so analog you could think to listen a good turntable but surely not a CD player Totally another Dac .. Now I understand why the Marantz C7 has been so acclaimed by Reviewers and Users .. the C7 had on board two TDA1541 S1 double crown but Twainese production (not Holland!) one per channel I wish to listen the Marantz C7 nowadays with two S1 double crown Holland ... should be one of the best sounding digital machine available today. Anyone here experienced mods with this TDA1541?
