Why did I worked out the MK 2 version ?

After almost 2 years after the introduction of the DDDAC1543, I have been receiving many
many inputs from all very happy builders.... Never the less, I gathered a wealth of valuable
inputs of people who improved the DAC or gave comments on the construction.... So what is
new and improved in the DDDAC1543 MK2 ?????
Lots and lots of things !!!! Read here the whole list incorporated in the MK 2 version:
Professional double layer PCB with solder mask and component layout for easy
construction, now lower threshold to start building....
Use of more easy to get parts, which keeps the price low !! ALL SMD PARTS are PRE-
assembled by a professional contractor. NO hassle with trying to solder yourself SMD ....
More TDA chips in parallel. Improves sound quality
Modular set up with I2S Bus structure. Easy to create multiple DAC-chip construction in
multiple of 12 TDA1543 chips .... No limit for die hard ultimate DIY :-))
Special Tent XO Clock with 2.8224 MHz frequency. No Clock dividing any more !! Direct
clocking of the I2S Bus. Improves sound quality....
Separate SPDIF receiver with I2S bus input and output fixed with TENT Clock and
asynchrone reclocking of I2S signals, improves flexibility....
Improved Low noise powers supply for each individual chip. Improves sound quality....
A solid heatsink and mechanical solution for the TDA1543-tower. Improves reliability &
improves easy of building and no fan required .....
No bias control points anymore. Improves reliability
Battery checker integrated on SPDIF receiver and made simpler. Now a red LED will light
up when 25% level of battery is reached

Not too bad for a second revision ............. ;-)
