the Salas shunt need:
2 or 3 : 9-12 V/ min 100mA
You can choice R-core (R26-28) for Salas shunt, It is good
The supply I/V need: 0- 260V min 50mA
The Filament need: 0-9 V min 3A
What about a R-Core (R26-34) as I have one of these which I had planned to put in another dac, which I am not selling..
Specs:
R26-34 0-9X2(0.7A)、0-15X2(0.7A)
If its not Ideal I will sell it on and buy the pcb toroidal's. I'm pretty sure it wont be, but thought I'd check ..

it is good for DAC, you can use
So the transformer toroidals is better! i think so

I having problem with my build..
I have followed the steps regarding adjusting the voltages. All checkt out fine. So today I connected everything together.
But I don't get any sound. There is only a slight hiss in one speaker.
I use E182CC as output tube and can easy hear if I tap on it. Well... To rule out the I/V I connected the output cables direct to the DAC output but still no sound.
This leads me to belive that the CS8414 isn't working properly.
Is there a way to check it with a regular DMM? My scope is left at work untill monday :-(
I use a squeezebox as source for s/pdif..

have you checked all of the +5v digital points?
have you remembered the jumper?
Yes, jumper installed between 2 and 3.
I measured the voltages at both the CS8414 and AD1865. They are all between 4.98V to 5.02V.
The CS part comes from ebay and AD1865 from Euvl's groupbuy.
Guess I got bad luck with ebay this time.
===============================================
This 100VA Transformer can be suitable for the power stage (Tubes + Heater)
R80-36 primary (0-110) x 2 /SCN: scondary (260-230-0-230-260)(200mA), 2.5-0-2.5(3A), 3.15-0-3.15) X 2(3A)
Easy to get 8.15V for heater Series 2.5+2.5+(3.15parallel) 🙂

Why not 2.5 + 3.15 + 3.15 = 8.8V? Those are all 3A? Or is those 3.15 parallel so it's easier for the transformer? I'm not so familiar with these connections..

ưhat is aobut THE LED in the PCb DAC???

some transformer made in China is often not enough mA, Ex: write 5A, so it is only 3A-4 A max.
you can try do that!
ưhat is aobut THE LED in the PCb DAC???
It is lit all the time the power is on.
Is that to show if I got a lock?

When you conect DAC to CD, the led tunr off?? or no??

No, it does not turn off when I connect CD.
No, it does not turn off when I connect CD.
So you try to connect jump. 1-2 or 2-3.
when a signal from the cd into the LED light will turn off.

Thanks,
I have tried both 1-2 and 2-3 but the Light will not turn off.
I have ordered a new cs8414 but it will take 10 days or so for it to arrive here.

so! you check CS8414 and all pin of it.

Because 8.15 is enough.
If you use 5687 you better use LT1085 regulator and you can try to leave 2.2R resistors. If relay starts chattering then remove 2.2R and mount 1R
Selecting 8.8V is only making the regulator hotter. Try to keep the power dispersion in the heater PSU section as low as you can. It's already d** hot.
The transformer as above is fine. It maintains almost room temperature.
Since quanghao has some extra boards and I can get mine immediately, I hereby withdraw from the next group buy. Forum members involve in the next group buy thus are :
