So no free puck included for us that we already got the kit?
I wish to do so, but no turner is working for free.

Tibi,
any idea of time frame and cost on the enclosure? Will allowance be made for options such as different caps and other diyaudio oddities
I can not give a price at this time as there are still few parts who need to be made.
What I can disclosure is that the enclosure is a combination of acryl and wood.
We already made a prototype using forex instead wood and looks very promising.
There will be three wood options and I hope you will like our design, it is simple and elegant.

Tibi
Hi Tibi,
What will be the additional cost of the puck?
Thanks!!
Hi,
If your kit was not delivered yet, than there will be no extra shipping costs.
So, 32 euro + paypal fee.

what about a time frame. A pic would temper the impatient

I have 2 mounted + tested and one full kit still pending shipment, so that will be 96 Euros total + PP fee?

Tibi, how do we do this? Do I request that you send me an invoice for two pucks? Or do I add it somehow to the Order List?

Send me a mail and I´ll invoice you.

Helo,
I've been trying to find varouis bits of info relating to this build, but as yet no luck via the 650+ pages! I am looking to build a Transport, DAC and AMP.
THe transport is this (will hopefully be it anyway)
Anyway would someone be able to answer the following questions:
If the mini kit is purchased what else is required to get an up and running system? (I assume all the other bits on the BOM?)
Would anyone be able to give me a rough idea of the cost of the system?
I have read that to connect to a DAC the digitial out signal is too high, I did find a mod for sorting out the levels but have lost it, is the mod required for connecting to the ebay DAC kits listed all over the shop!
Finally is it just a case of soldering all the bits on and the system will work?
Many thanks, please forgive the silly questions!

I am still assembling my boards and I have found that the connector listed for j4 and j10 will only fit on the wrong side of the two boards. This would put it behind the LCD on the display board. Also the part does not seem to come with the piercer for the ribbon cable and regardless of that I can find no source for the ribbon cable in North America. 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.

This "mod" is also known as output resistors They limit the current drawn from the LC78901 chip, and knock down the digital output voltage. They should be included in the new Shiga kit already (R48 & R49). In any case, most DACs would lock fine even without those resistors. See output resistors section in my Shigaclone guide.

I had the same problem, the mouser part is just as you described it it will only go in on the wrong side. I ended up buying the red farnell one that tibi uses.

Hello,
Mini kit will offer only critical and hard to find components.
All other parts are on BOM and can be purchased from Mouser, Digikey, Farnell, TME. In BOM you have all options, but please pay attention on cell comments and do not mix parts from Digikey with Farnell and Mouser.
As all parts are listed in BOM with code and direct links to distributor, just add them to your cart and you have a precise cost.
For digital output we have included on board output resistors.
Yep, just solder all parts and will work. Have a look on out webpage for more detailed info. There is a datasheet as well with construction details.
Regards,
Tibi
hello Tibi
what is the weight of the alluminium puck?
No idea, I need to get a kitchen balance to measure and let you know.
FYI, puck drawing was posted on the other thread.

Tibi,
How are the full blown Shiga kits coming?
Yes, it´s coming but we had problems with sourcing different wood types, metal laser cutting and burning etc.
All solved now and pictures will be presented soon.
