quick and dirty dac enclosure



a long post after some time... seems the new job is all work and no play. ;)
anyways, did a 12hr or less job on a dac enclosure that i had lying around for a loong time.

it is done using an eddystone RFI/EMI proof enclosure. one thing that i forgot to do was to put my cell phone in that enclosure and give myself a call to see if i get a missed call. hahaha...

the enclosure was given a pearl white coat, but unfortunately, this is a difficult colour to spray... need 2 cans for best results. since i had one afternoon to do this, i did all i could with one can. i then used a gloss coat as the top coat for this enclosure. results are far from ideal, but what the heck...

the dac is the original monica, ie, the tda1545 non os chip from philips. mine is powered using a 12v sla battery.

here's the dac photo album for your viewing pleasure. let me hunt down the shot with the dac powered on so the blue LED is showing...
