I'm posting links to the pictures in original size that's why just links instead of thumbnails...

remote control functions:

- for the first time you need to pair your remote with the MCU, press "menu" + "right arrow key" at the same time on the remote control for at least 6 seconds, "IR OK" message pops up on the screen, then release both keys and pairing is complete, if no message appear try to attempt several times
- left/right arrows are volume control
- top arrow is source switch
- bottom arrow is filter switch
- menu button changing setting of the MCU
- mute button is mute
- middle button confirming commands

any other questions shoot...

Thanks Kukynas , can you point me in the direction of a nice chassis for this dac?

Thanks for very sharp photos which confirms that 75 Ohm is also for the BNC connector.
The Pin configuration table is a bit difficult to understand for me..so I have the AK4137, Dual AK4495 and the XMOS board how shall the J1-11 on AK4495 board be set?
Where to connect IR sensor to the AK4137?
Do you know the difference between the board you mentioned
HIFI asynchronous digital XMOS U8 module USB IIS / DSD supports PCM / DSD-in Amplifier from Consumer Electronics on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
and this one
Advanced version Italian Amanero Combo384 USB DSD 512 / PCM 384 module-in Solar Cells, Solar Panel from Electrical Equipment & Supplies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
What PSUs can you recommend..right now it seems like LT3042 is quite popular but I haven't listened to them..
 
Neslo,
in case of use of AK4137 board you need to set jumper J09, J10 and J11 look at Dual chip online mode (left channel) configuration under "set reference: (AK4118 plate /4137 plate) " on the bottom of the page, all other jumpers stays open (disconnected)
IR diode is located on LCD screen module sold with AK4137 board, I can send you picture of it if you want...
as mentioned earlier there is no functional difference between the boards and if you plan to use AK4137 upsampling capabilities you better invest in better quality oscillators and it's PSU than USB module as every incoming signal including USB will be recklocked with AK4137 chip and it's own oscillators, I can recommend this ULN PSU, one line for oscillators and second for DAC board, in case of opamp PSU I will use this one

in terms of PSU, my plan was following:
- 60W R-core transformer with 2x15V and 2x9V
- 1x9V supplying MCU board, MCU board contains LM7805 pre-reg which I plan to change for better one with higher current >1.5A, MCU board will supply 5V into digital part of AK4495 board, will keep those 3xADP151 where they are
- 1x9V supplying 2xLT3042, one 3.3V for oscillators on MCU (bypassing current ADP151 next to oscillators) board and one 7V for analog part of AK4495 board (bypassing those LT1763 regs)
- 2x15V supplying TPS7A4700 +/-15V for opamp stage, of course you can use LT3042 for it but make sure your AC won't exceed in any case 20V otherwise you'll damage reg chip, that's why it's safer to use TPS7A4700 for higher voltages...
 
Diy-DACs from Ultimate Star
Advantages - relatively inexpensive, and the exhaust is not fancy but good for demo board, good equipment, built on discrete power or the ability to use its power to the OS and primary digital and analogue DAC. Quite good secondary stubs - lt1763 analogue, adp151 digit (are individual for each chip, quartz). The full DAC DAC analog power and oh - embedded discrete shunt regulators. Support DSD (ASIO NATIVE). remote control.

Thanks Kukynas. If you could check when chassis will be available again that would be great.
