This project is a great DAC, I want to share with you,
However, I need your help, let me do it!

The minimum required number 15 set: DAC+ Controle DAC

I started producing.
Payment: half the amount for the selection, the remaining amount of money + shipping payment before shipping.
Payment by paypal: quanghao168@yahoo.com.vn
Paypal free: 2%.
Note: Because this is a shared project, and need money to produce,

Hi,

Is this capable of separately controlling the volume of the left channel from the right channel? Or can the volume be bypassed? I need to separately control the left channel volume from the right channel.

Regards

You want to channel the output channel ??

It does.
Change the output as follows: R- L or L-R, (no need to invert DAC conductor)

thank and see

I like this project, just a question: if I choose options 1,2,4,5 (i dont need usb) what else do I need to complete it?...I saw pictures with an output tube stage in the older thread but it's not in the list here. Thanks!

this IV for layout now!

Balanced ouput with Tranfomer LL1684
Unbalanced converter with Tube

thanks

very interesting project, is it possible to have a direct I2S-LVDS input with HDMI connector (PS audio standard) in the rear panel and possible to select this, besides all other inputs?
I dont understand why you choose Amanero USB card when there are latest products as Xmos Xcore200 chipset based cards and dsd 1024 support in native mode?
Thank you so much and soyy for my bad english.
