Proves a replacement SID can cost little and sound great ! Carsten is King of low cost solutions.

Yea, really liking the pico, and it's going to stay in the c128........

[@Retro4u]

just watched and listened whilst painting my room, shame the dac messed up awsome sounds from the SId though thanks for the video keep up the good work

[@CaptainCommodore]

Yea I'm not sure why the dac corrupted that one tune only

[@JosipRetroBits]

wow! The sound is awesome, I had to crank my speakers a bit louder, so good :) Cheers!

[@idreamtin8bits]

Well, that definitely sounds better than the garbled sound from the ARM2SID…
Only thing I do not understand: why the DAC?
Sorry if this is a n00b question, but does the SIDKick Pico not return the sound over the normal internal channel? Or is this the way to get stereo, and if so, how to connect this DAC for audio with the case closed?

[@CaptainCommodore]

The sidkick pico has several configuration options depending on the firmware your loading, straight out of AV line...... or Just DAC ........ or both AV *and* DAC ( which is what I am using ) ...... the 2nd track was strange as it was garbled with and without the VDC being active when I use the DAC, but the AV output using sidplay was spot on .......

[@idreamtin8bits]

@@CaptainCommodore and VDC active without DAC over AV? That sounds OK?
Because that is what I assume I and most users would be using.
And thx for testing this!

[@CaptainCommodore]

@idreamtin8bits Well both the DAC and AV where active, Both sound great except for that 2nd tune in RFO but only over the DAC (vdc didn't seem to matter)

[@idreamtin8bits]

@@CaptainCommodore hmm, over DAC is nog really convenient.

[@CaptainCommodore]

@@idreamtin8bits well you can use the AV out as normal
