Is the above correct ?

Hi Shadders

 Sure is !

The  0 volts are labelled with an earth Symbol, which indicates the " earth " side of the PCB.

 If Silicon Chip didn't draw it this way they would need to draw loads of additional connecting lines which could be confusing, or add notations with each " earth" symbol.

Incidentally, you will see plenty of schematics drawn this way in the U.K. publication " Everyday Practical Electronics" in which S.C. designs feature prominently.

E.P.E. featured the original S.C. DAC in their September 2011 issue.

 

Kind Regards

Alex

 

How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area. All that Identical Checksums gives is the possibility of REGENERATING the file to close to that of the original file.

  • The grounding symbol that looks like a lawn rake, indicates a connection to the metal chassis.  A requirement for the Safety Ground/Protective Earth.
  • The grounding symbol that looks like a triangle, indicates the circuit or circuits common. And most probably a PCB ground plain. Just how it gets connected to the chassis is determined somewhere else in the system.

In the context of the 'sandyk' power supply, because the +15/-15 and 5V supplies share a common, the will both connect to the chassis at the same point (wherever that might be).
