Stixx, you have Subbu DAC and WaveIO right?
Is Subbu PSU sufficient enough to serve WaveIO (5V, 500mA)? I love its compact build and would like to pair it with converter if its enough.
Jean-Paul mentioned there is new version of PSU, maybe even better? Id love to hear your opinion as I need that last element to my chain.

Other transformer that probably does not fit on the PCB, some other resistors, large heatsink. I think it won't be a wise decision to use it as it is not an LDO regulator so heat will be more than with an LDO. You could use a separate one for the device so 2 PSU's.

edit: just checked WaveIO specifications, you need the 3A board as WaveIO needs 0.5 A minimum. You could use a 1A transformer to keep it small.

Managed to finish first DAC. Soldered carefully, washed the pcb after finished soldering smd parts but sound is bad.
It sounds like a poor tuned FM station, my stomach tells me that is something related with spdif interface. Any idea, what to check ?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

And then complain that the es9023 sounds bad. is like a message that I saw somewhere, said> the culprit left the signature on the pcb :cheeky:
