Hi Blair,
thank you very much.
Now I am looking at the little DAC. A real advice I dont have. :? So I take a look on the datasheet. Thats what I have found:
Storage temperature, Tstg –55°C to 150°C
Junction temperature, TJ 150°C
Lead temperature (soldering) 260°C, 5 s
Package temperature (IR reflow, peak) 235°C
So I wish you a quiet hand and luck, dont solder him too hot or too long. And please dont take too much solder, it will be difficult to remove it later if the circuit points glue together.
Later I will handle the lens. The task is to minimize the diffused light of the laser. Its the same procedure as on the TEAC and DENON. You have seen it on the pics? The border of the lens is to colour with black resistant paint. Thats usually the first I do by modding. I will make pics and post them with description. Do you want to do that too? Its independent from your DAC soldering, easy and has a real effect, not vodoo .
Good luck,
