Toy10 Audio media center

For More francy sound color and sound detail I DIY PCI media play card.

Diy Audio PCI card with two type.
Left type use VIA VT1720T PCI Media player control + codec WM8740 + OP and buffer (could 24bits/192K @kernel streaming ).
Just depend PC performance.

Right type just use VIA VT1720T Media player control and direct SPDIF output fiber signal only.


PCI Audio control VIA1720T,Codec WM8740.
These card need firmware code and special driver on windows XP system.
Because I prefer kernel streaming direct play wav. format music and no XP mixer to distortion and change sample rate.
I setup working sample rate is 24bits/96K(kernel streaming mode).

Toy5 Take Marantz 7 and 和田茂氏 pre-amp case to build D/A

Because when I finish D/A and I connect D/A behind Marantz 7 and 和田茂氏 pre-amp then the pre-amp will decay audio signal so I know pre-amp not Hi-Fi enough.

Toy3 D/A coplue capacitor of Balance output estimate

unknow PP capacitor


Bennic PP capacitor

final use ERO PP capacitor

Toy 2 D/A Power define and verify

D/A Power plan defien and verify.   

Toy 4 D/A with 6Dj8 buffer

High voltage Tube 6Z4

through R-C-L-C to 230V

Change 6DJ8 to E88CC

D/A module CS8416+WM8740 fix volume to buffer.
