FS: DAC Board - AD1852 + DIR9001+ NE5534, 24BIT 96KHz, SACD

Greetings,
This is my 5th (latest) version of DAC board. I've been keep investing on this AD1852 based design since 2012. So it is not a fancy but well optimized, ultra-low noise and THD design. The LPF has been being improved based on feedbacks from thousands of international users.
I'd like to share all the measurements below on the real product. (I'm offering other Hi-End DACs from TDA1541/7 to multi PCM1702/63, send me a message for a full list)
See here for AD1852 specs. And you can order in $99 from earphonediylabs.com

Message me or reply this thread, I'd like to answer any questions.

FS: Headphone and earphone DIY parts

TO earphone DIYers,

I build my earphones and headphones and retail some components to make it a sustainable hobby. So I'd like to share my experiences and knowledge with you how to do that. And I have source to Hi-Fi headphone/earphone speakers, shells, cables, supporting you to assemble your own earphones in very quality.

This post is a start point to share my build to make a in-ear earphone with IE800 ceramic shells and B&O H5 6.5mm speakers.I made a detailed introduction at DIY an earphone with Sennheiser IE800 shell and B&O H5 speakers (v2) - Album on Imgur, in case you need a detailed step by step intro.

PM me if you are interested to have a kit, or reply this thread for any technical question. I'll be more glad to also learn from you how to DIY the best earphones.

Regards
Earphone DIY Labs
