PCM5102 Board from Aliexpress - a quick analysis

Rochey · Jun 20, 2018

Not sure if 23 minutes is quick, but I figured that as I'm being asked to make a monitor controller DAC, I should have a quick look at what folks are putting out there already!

PCM5102 DAC Video teardown and discussion!

Would love your feedback, and before any of y'all say - I know I need to get better cameras and stop moving PCB's around!

Enjoyed the vid Rochey. It's a good DAC primer which I've needed. Thanks for the link!

Excellent video. Covers the bits designers really need to know. Love the little TV in the bottom tight hand corner. The only thing I did not like is your hat!!!

Cheers

The hat is necessary because my head reflects too much light from the overhead!

Shall I set up a Patreon to get a new hat?

B+H photo might help https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/diffusers-diffusion-material/ci/24480/N/3662541028 or if the light doesn't get too hot, a pair of ladies tights, or similar can soften a hard light

I don't think he would look any better with a pair of ladies tights on his head. On the other hand......

Watching right now. Enjoying this. Here's some video feedback - I'd prefer music that is more ambient. For me, those drums are really distracting.
