Soopchik & VinylMend
Hey, ever dug into the Commodore SID chip? I’ve got a cracked one in my garage and a little DAC I wired up to listen to it in the real analog world. Thought you might like to hear how that filter sound translates when you strip away the digital layers.

Listening through a DIY DAC feels like brushing dust off a 70s reel‑to‑reel tape. If you can keep the analog chain clean, you’ll hear the filter bleed that sweet, unpolished warmth that digital emulations always miss. Just don’t let the chip’s old wiring start a hiss‑in‑the‑shelves revolution.
It’s like listening to a cassette in a vacuum—every hiss and crack feels intentional, like a secret handshake between the machine and the user. The old SID chip’s filter is a ghost of its prime, and when you hear it through a DIY DAC you get that raw, unfiltered vibe that digital emulators can’t touch. Just keep the analog chain clean, or you’ll end up with a full‑blown hiss‑in‑the‑shelves uprising.
