hello.. do you still have pcb's available?
Quanghao is on vacation for 2 weeks. Maybe he will answer your question later, brother
He should do.. I just ordered some a few days ago.. Unfortunately they wont be send out for another 2 weeks tho..hello.. do you still have pcb's available?
Found a minor error in silk screen on the I/V board: J3 & J4 L-IN/R-IN is mixed, should be other way. "From IV" L goes to J4 R-IN and vise versa. Don't know what to do with those J3 & J4 though. 🙂
What kind of jumper can be added to JUMP in DAC board? Tried a normal pinheader, but pins don't fit.

In the board I/V is not wrong.
The Jumper You just connect the foot 1 to 2 and You do welding them,( not put Jump on the board).
I noticed on BOM of DAC board, R1 to R7 is 10R or Choke 120uH
Why the choke was an option?
there is a solution for high frequency noise, so I leave it as an option for users who want to choke instead of resistance, but I still recommend using R instead of choke. Thus the effect of tl431 to work.

Well, I still think is it. Thanks for the jumper guidance. 🙂

I talked to a guy in Germany cause the transformer. He is building perfect transformers for valve-amps.
The Anode-current is 30-36 mA per valve, ís that right ?
We can get a very good transformer for "payable money" which delivers
3 x 12v / 1 x 9V and 1 x 250V.
Hope to can tell you more next week.

I'm very interested, if he will be able to post. Will it be multiple input windings or a single winding?
What type of specs the L1 & L1 120µH should have? Current, tolerance, resistance, core, shielding..? Any recommentations what manufacturer / part number to use? Those are in pretty critical place in the signal path..
Any input with this? How about C26&C27 (10nF) in the same board/filter (DAC output)?

What do you mean ?
1 x 230V alternative 2 x 115V on primary side ?
sugden, For C26, C27, C28 and C29 (10nF) MKP/FKP are prefered.
The decoupling/snubbers capacitors are less critical. MKC/MKP/MKT capacitors are all fine for the purpose, as long as they fit the board.

Thanks, for your advice.

About Wima MKS, they sound bad, oops sorry, I don't like them. Sound too dry, sharp.Any input with this? How about C26&C27 (10nF) in the same board/filter (DAC output)?
For input cap I ordered Hi End GAD-Viva Zinc MKP 0.01uf Capacitor,630VDC
Hi End GAD-Viva Zinc MKP 0.01uf Capacitor,630VDC - eBay Parts Accessories, Amplifiers, Home Audio, Electronics. (end time 05-Mar-10 18:43:01 AEDST)
For the filter I selected Vishay Roederstain MKP1837 0.01uF available from Farnell or RS
Also I use MKP1837 0.1uF as bypass on tube cathode. They just fit in by offsetting the electrolytic a little bit.
For C3, C6, C8, C11 Tube stage I will try between Oscon and Elna Silmic II.

Hi! I need some advice in the 0.1uF & 0.01uF capacitors need to be use in the photo below. Do your think it good enough? How to know which one is good in audio signal? Please advice me. Thanks
The only one I would use is the large one on C1,C2,C3,C4 on high voltage PSU. You need four of them. The rest in particular the red one I would not consider.
The Vishay Roederstain MKP1837 is the beloved one. Use it on Dac filter, Cathode bypass and around +5 , -5 the Analog DC input of the DAC.
Vishay BC MKS 0.1uF where the MKP won't fit with criteria.

I check my local Farnell & RS website, they selling Vishay Roederstain MKP1837 0.1uF & 0.01uF very expensive. I will find other source. Can i use Sprague Black Beauty 0.01uF/600V as input cap. at C28 & C29 on DAC-end board? Thanks

On RS components you can buy a packet of 10 for $1.5 each. Farnell would be $80 or more
