Hi Quanghao,
The eagle has landed, thanks!
Unfortunately C98 SMT cap is detached from it's place (floating seems to be coming from 2nd PSU) even though package looks properly packed. 4 black plastic rods pushing the buttons seems could not securely attach to the holes as I can see crack plastics to the tip. Though, 1 is good.
Is C98 critical? Else, could be difficult for me to solder this bug.

DAC experience

I got my DAC now several weeks ago and wanted to tell about my experience.
First of all the DAC with Lundahl output transformers does sound very well but not better than a Buffalo III from Twisted Pear. Only with this DAC here I could get a ready chassis which was with scratched front plate and jammed power switch first of all. In the meantime I got replacement for that.
The second reason for buying this DAC was, that I wanted to get access to all parameters of the ESS chip. But you get no documentation at all with this DIY kit.
I asked many, many times to get a layout for the main board and all the jumpers on it. No response from anybody...

After this is not a cheap DAC I only can recommend to buy better from Twisted Pear. Quality is better, sound is equal and you get full documentation for what you buy!
