A dynamic duo ... this combo still impresses me with its classic multibit Philips sound. I do, however, prefer the combo in its default milieu: the Philips (or Philips-based) CDP, with the CDM mech, the SAA7x10 decoder, etc. Vintage Creek, Arcam, Naim -- and here in the US, modified Magnavoxes -- hold their own for 16/44.1, even today.
Questions:

How about the three I2S lines between SAA7x10 and SAA7220 -- any similar RC decoupling needed?
Thanks!

Martin (or anyone)...I assume you meant the small cap (to ground) comes after the in-line resistor? Or does it matter?One more little thing - for chips designed to work together - they don't interface very well without a bit of work! Find the long 'TDA1541 thread in this forum of more details, but the key tweak is to use RC decoupling in the signal lines between these two chips to reduce HF noise injection into the dacs substrate (1K/10pF was suggested)*. Your Arcam already has some resistors in place in these lines, so definitely add small caps (10-22pF) to digital ground at the 1541 input pins. It helps a surprising amount.
