Finally had the time to hooking up my DIY TDA1541 DAC to the PC via USB to the hifi set.
The PC is an older laptop which I have since redeployed for live streaming for songs (Spotify, etc) and sports event(s), etc. Since the USB DAC was Plug&Play compatible, setup was a breeze after making sure all the necessary cables are in-place, and, flicking the toggle switch on the back of the DAC chassis.

| Initial setup for testing |
As this is the 1st time using the DAC components, initial reproduction was a tad bassy when compared to the output from my Sony ES tuner, for the same FM station. Otherwise the details were all present. Will update once it has been run-in.

Forgot to say - advantage includes facility to listen to any overseas radio station which streams eg KISS FM from LA, Breeze from NZ, etc
