Hi there,

I looking for doing my first DAC with Twisted Pear AUdio modules.

The ones I selected are COD dac with PCM1794A chips. I want to mount them as Dual Differential modules.
Now the questions :

IVY III or Legato for the I/V stage ?
I want the output fully balanced

As far as I understood, I can mount the 2 DAC PCB on top of the IVY stage. One connected to the I_IN_L nd the other to the I_IN_R inputs (all COD dac output connected).

Thank you for your hepl

Regards

Sounds like a good plan to me. :) I would be very careful about switch SPDIF with a relay though. That is the only questionable part I see right now.
