Has anyone from our side of the world come up with a solution for this? If not can I purchase these parts from you Tibi? Thanks in advance. ( :
I am using the 538-90584-1318 part from Mouser.

dillmeister,

You should have in the kit one red and one white connector.
Use the red on display board and white on the main board.
If any part is missing please let me know and I´ll send to you asap, no costs from your side.

Regards,
Tibi

You can use mouser part on main board and farnell on display board.

Thanks very much for the reply, especially the note not to mix parts from suppliers.

Hi Tibi,
Just received the Mounted and tested Shigaclone today, will start work tomorrow. Thanks!
Also been looking for a appropiate case and found something like this at 40US$ plus shipping, not sure if it will fite the Shigaclone plus a ES9023 DAC with power supply:




Exterior：W226H100D391
Interior：W203H84D380 (all in mm)

Will need to ask the factory if the front buttonu can be relocated and mounting holes can fit the display or not.

Hey, that's a nice looking case skylab. Is the seller on your side of the world or in the Americas?

[Sean Henderson]

Agreed...very nice case! Who is the supplier?

I plan to mount the power supplies for the transport and Buffalo SE DAC external to the case...should be room for that.

Hi syklab,

Also been looking for a case for a long time and this case seems very very nice , good job man! 40US$ only, it's cheap for a case like this!

Hi,
I found this from one of the taobao store in China that I bought a case for my chipamp before, I havn't order this case yet. The seller seems quite nice and the price is very good. It was original designed for a CDM9 transport.

Hi Tibi,
Few question after checking the stuffs before start putting thing together:

1. The transformer shown seconday: 0, 9V, 18V (brown, white, blue), is the transformer provided has 2 secondary windings or center taped ? How should I connect it to the PS modul?
brown -> J7-1
White -> J7-2
Blue -> J7-3




2. The March and September version differ alot on the regulator for V1, V2, V3 and V4, Do we need those 4 separate regulators? I don't see any proviision for them on the power supply module and neither on the main DPS module, please kindly enlighten me. What will be the impact on the output quality with and without those 4 regulators?
Is there an option on the main module for supplying the 4 regulated power and are they all expected to be 5V?

3. What is the total current drawn ?

Thanks and regards

Found the transformer connection from the user manual.
brown (0V) -> J7-3
White (9V) -> J7-2
Blue (18V) -> J7-1
Green/Yellow -> J7-2
