As you can probably figure out by the links below I have a vision. I want my audio-system connected to my sources to be able to reproduce whatever the producer intended for me to hear.


The are several step to the process. Most are easy to fix with cash and moderate WAF. In order to increase WAF and reduce cash I have been investigating some other possibilities.
The general idea is to put some stuff about the Audio-hardware of the Dune BD Prime here:

The audio section of the BD Prime is relatively simple.
4 parallel stereo DACs make up the audio from signals passed from the main board.

The general idea is to put some stuff about the Audio-hardware of the Dune BD Prime here:

Overview

The audio section of the BD Prime is relatively simple. 4 parallel stereo DACs make up the audio from signals passed from the main board.

Hardware

Signals to DAC-board

Signals fed from the Main Board

And the Audio DAC-board itself

General layout

To my best guess its the Cirrus Logic CS4344C DAC and a NJM4580M operational amplifier on this picture

CS4344C and NJM4580M

Cirrus Logic website

CS4344/45/46/48 Product Data Sheet (pdf)

New Japan Radio website

NJM4580 Dual Operational Amplifier (pdf)

Performance

RMAA, other audio measurements?

Hardware Modifications

Can the current hardware be modified to improve performance

Can a replacement be fitted to create a real high end solution? There is a possibility that the Buffalo II will be able to slot right in without any problems.
