Hurra for hver av de 32 bitt'ene!

Chiaki & Bunpei are great guys and their SDTrans rules.

Yes, Mr. Bjørge that is true in respect of audio quality
The user interface need more work to be state of the art...

PS! det er nå nye komponenter tilgjengelige til effektforsterkeren..

Keep up the good work, Raymond!

Digital file playback is definitely the (HIGH END AUDIO) way of the future!

Whoops; forgot to say that vinyl playback also will continue heading high-end audio into the future, and that it probably will survive most current (and already short-lived past) digital formats. While concentrating on analog; I do not see a conflict with the leading edge digital development (like SDTrans & ESS Sabre32 playback of true 32 bit files).

The better one know excellent analog playback, the more one will appreciate the best of digital playback.

I am also happy & proud of my Norwegian heritage when new entries like 2L - the Nordic Sound arrives in the market. Some of the best sound recordings in classical and jazz are from Norway. Jan Erik Kongshaug (jazz) and Arne Akselberg (ex-Simax) come to mind in addition to the "newer entries".....

Audio would be nowhere without the performing & recording artists!

I am just now playing the SD card for the first time and have come to #16 without any problems, and I really enjoy the audio quality.

With the JFET poweramp and the fullrange AMT speakers and the ES9018 based DAC I believe I have the best sounding setup ever made.

Ray,
I meant to ask you about your LU1014D JFET poweramp - is this a Susan Parker "Zeus"?
Your system sounds wonderfully minimalist - just the right amount of needed components & no more! What are you using for volume control - a lightspeed?

The LU1014D JFET poweramp are my own design and uses a JFET as regulator / virtual capacitor, and uses silicium carbide rectifiers etc..
Volume are digitally controlled ES9018 and / or my own optocoupler variant that are mostly / basic like the lightspeed..
You will find pictures and info if you search for my previous posts..

Bunpei & Chiaki I am sorry for OT in your thread..

We don't mind at all. It's also interesting for me. We want to know on what kind of systems our player is used.

This looks superb and I would certainly be very interested in purchasing the finished product.

Our kit is a kind of "finished product" already because it runs by connecting power and a S/PDIF cable to the board. However, we will not provide neither a power unit nor casing.

As for our stock of the kit, Chiaki has a few bare PCBs and they are tentatively assigned to orders. We have no definite schedule on a distribution of the next lot so far. In the next release, Chiaki plans some improvements.
