ES9023 pcb on ebay

Guys, check this out

SABRE ES9023 DAC PCB+ES9023 DAC CHIP MOUNTED+FREE HCMOS CRYSTAL | eBay

It has WM8805 and pcm2707 receivers and it can also have I2S input from external sources like TE2022 USB module. The crystal can also be changed. Looks very tempting to build one.

I was just reading the ad
"PACKAGE CONTENTS
1. ES9023 DAC Board with ES9023 DAC chip soldered x 1
2. HCMOS Crystal x 1"

It doesn't mention anything about any other components.

Also why premount the ess9023 when the wm8805 is smaller and harder?

Building something like that by hand is not my idea of fun, but if you are cool with soldering 28 pin SSOT packages doing the rest of the components must look simple!

A prompt reply from the seller
"You will be given ESS9023 dac chip + one HCMOS crystal along with the board. Other components you can get it from digikey, element14, ebay, headfishop, etc"

So it's up to you to chase all other components, presumably you'll get a BOM and/or schematic after purchase.....!!!!!!

Personally I don't think it's worth the money.
