I don't think rolling DAC chips is an option. If you look at the datasheet for the PCM1748, you'll see that its a 16 pin SSOP/QSOP package. Take a look here: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pcm1748.pdf
Brown Dog (http://cimarrontechnology.com/) doesn't sell adapters for this footprint and I'm not really aware of any other DACs that are pin compatible anyway. So the answer is that simple plug and play chip swapping isn't really an option. I guess you could try to hardwire in a standard 16pin DIP socket and then get some SSOP/QSOP smd to dip adatpers from the following folks: http://www.epboard.com - look for adapter E16-0075 but thats actually very kludgy and prone to problems and a lot more work than just unsoldering one chip and soldering in another. ---Gary -- GaryB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GaryB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19822 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
