Correction: all PS' are supplied, and purpose built. Just add transformers.

And case..

Without intention or intentionally.. you are missing the point..

Yep. 3 (three) transformers obviously have nothing to with power supplies. And highest quality transformers, switches, cabling, fuses must be considered pocket money. I know.

What did I say about ignorance!?!?

Soekris - I guess you know him and his great project - also recommended to "just" hook up a transformer and you'll be set. "It's good enough"
People who follow the Soekris project closely (I do) know how this ended up.



However. The key issue is the USB interface. Just check how your DAC performs against a USB-Regen. It's just an advise. Joro put huge efforts
into getting the USB interface under control in the past. A pity if he wouldn't walk the extra mile this time.

Joro and MisterRogers are present on forum, but for some reason there is no news about progress..
Maybe condsidering forum discount percentage..

 

[pinnocchio]

Hmmmm... They might be aiming at a full retail product with this one. If so, I wish them great success and hope there will still be a DIY version available.

Hi guys - I suspect it's nothing dramatic; I've been hammered with work the past month, and I suspect Joro & Lyuben might be at a similar stretch in their personal lives.

Looks good but expensive for a pcb !
Would you be making a version with no output stage because I will be using tubed output stage & like others have said mybe you could sell it cheaper as a kit.

In the meantime AK launched new chip..
Premium DACs | Product | AKM - Asahi Kasei Microdevices

AK4495 - I2S over USB Audio

 

[Point of Style]

With Burson v5 sound even better: Supreme Sound Opamp V5 – Burson Audio

 

[vulejov]

Very nice..
I can't find schematic for V5..
Try LT1361-1363..

Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody did some comparison with commercial DACs like Gustard, schiit gungnir or other DACs on AKM chips? If it is appropriate to talk about it here in this thread. As it was mentioned before with this price tag this product enters into similar commercial DACs territory and it lacks in some aspects (warranty maybe, resale ability, support, nice case and being completely finished product), so I assume in order to be competitive it has to be better elsewhere, so maybe the sound quality? The output is not on discreet components on this one right?
