DAC ES9038 PRO Group Buys

[benkit]

Hi GH,
I'm interesting your DAC. I would like to install it in my CAR but don't quite sure if I will modify it to use 12VDC from car battery. Not required the controller and display, option 1 . Please advise if possible.
Does second buying group still open ?

Thank you
BK

I have some new pictures of the DAC ES9038PRO

I guess that's through the RPI3 we can see in your pictures of the inside of the dac...
What software will be used?
Is it connected via I2S to the dac in parallel with Amanero board?

Hi! thank you ask me!

DAC input by USB: Amanero

Pi 3 output by USB to Amanero - to DAC ( i not use i2S)

**Because, this is the DAC is separate and Music server is separate. Need to connect via USB. They're just the same box!**

The software you can use:
1. Moodeaudio: http: //moodeaudio.org/
2.Runeaudio: http: //www.rpimusicplayer.com/

Thank again

Oh, i understand...
But PIs have an I2S output and your dac has an I2S input, so why not to use a simpler I2S connection?
That would avoid an useless transit via Amanero board, thus letting higher quality signal get into the dac (USB transports can't add quality to the signal, only subtract, even if minimal)...
I implemented this type of connection in my Buffalo III dac and the results are very good, better than USB connection IMHO!

Any updates?
When it'll be ready to ship?

 

[JPDuarte]

I would like to know how many people of the group buy finish this DAC?

 

[AlphaC]

I'm still waiting for the I/V boards

 

[scooby555]

I would like to know how many people of the group buy finish this DAC?

I finished one , but since i cannot get decent coordinates to make my own chassis , i messed up the chassis , however after realising the output transformer is imho totally wrongfull connected , i rearranged the outputstage , plays in another dimension now very happy

so i need from Quanghao the dxf , dwg files so i can mùake a chassis to my taste

 

[JPDuarte]

Me too, for output boards and parts list.

Yes best sound with tube iv. i have all pcb now, thanks

OUTPUT STAGE

For this new DAC has been develop a new pure vacuum tube output stage, this is a very simple differential stage but optimized to obtain the lowest distortion and better sound.

On this folllowing schematic many values has been changed in the final release.

 

[grec13]

Nice! When fully assembled DAC will be ready to order?

 

[baski]

I dont see the price for the fully assembled unit anywhere.. Can someone let me know. Also is it too late to join the group buy?

 

[quanghao]

Nice! When fully assembled DAC will be ready to order?

yes,! thanks

 

[Algar_emi]

Hi. I bought the DAC with IV Tube output, and there are still some values that I don't know for the HV supply pcb from posted schematics. Check my schematic, can some one tell me what are the value for R8, Q4, C1 on the +B side and R17, C9, Q6, Q7 & Q9 on the B- side?

I assumed that the others missing part values on the B- side were the same as the B+ side.

It seems I can't get these values from Quanghao at the moment.

Also can you confirmed my findings, parts values in Green on the schematic

Any help appreciated. Thanks
SB

Hello Quanghao.
Jan 15 2016 I sent you $995 as a partial payment for the DAC.
Can you tell me when this fully assembled DAC will be ready to order?

Thank you,
