Hi All,

If any of you have successfully built a functional and neutral sounding DAC/AMP combo, can you please share your build? What electronic items did you salvage your parts from?

I've recently got the itch to buy cheap AV receivers from local classifieds and break them open to salvage components. My hope is to get a newer receiver that has HDMI or usb inputs, and salvage its DAC board. Then get onto salvaging AMP parts or even whole intact circuits. Then jam them together into some type of THX quality device.

If i'm just wasting my time I understand and I'll abandon the idea, but i really think there's hope hear and that something great can be had!
