Misses the point that the inherent quality of the TDA1541 is relatively poor
by modern standards. People don't make audio DACs that way any more, and
there are very many good reasons for it. I can understand a person who
simply wants to get a quality legacy piece back into operation with minmal
hassle. My comments were intended for retro-technology freaks who scour the
world for this chip to the exclusion of all others for new equipment
construction, in their obsessive pursuit of better sound.

What gave you the impression that was why he was asking?

IS there a better, easily available, slot-in replacement for this
chip?
