Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC


Where / How can I purchase a Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC in NA? I emailed Yamamoto Sound Craft Corp but never got a reply. I don't speak Japanese and was hoping they can read English. LOL!!!

Hi guys,
I took Charles advice and put in the Duelund Cast caps. The difference is not subtle. But also after a while, I was thinking that maybe the sound was a bit too "pure".  So I added/bypassed the Duelunds with 0.22uF Jupiter Condenser Red Astron caps.

These caps have some tin in the windings, and have a sound I've really loved, giving beautiful space and naturalness also in my VAC Standard LE preamp. I think the Jupiters really made the icing to the awesome Duelunds in my Yamamoto.
And it also turned out that later Duelund themselves made a Cast copper/tin plated cap, which Tony at Humble Homemade Hifi considered even better than the pure copper version.

I'm really loving the music at home - and friends go "wow" and are a bit jealous.  ;)
