Does the user manual include the PCB layout for the audio transformer as I/V stage? Can you tell me about the PCB layout for the audio transformer as I/V stage?

I see there's a connector marked SPDIF towards the bottom left corner of the board in the picture (second post).

3.3V x5? I can only see 3.3V x4 on the board.
Would it be OK for starters to supply the board from one 3.3v and one 1.2v supply?
Astute observation!
Shown prototype actually. Final design has an extra 3.3V REG for the Osc bias that is something new with this chip.
Yes, you can linkup the supplies initially to save on costs and then upgrade slowly. For you to experiment and enjoy the build🙂
Hi,
Just to clarify by what I meant by early adopters:
"Those who pre-order"
In addition I am planning to add more features to this design but the price will be pegged as current for the early adopters. There will also be some freebies like a simple IV board ( empty one i.e) for you to play around.
Once the product is released this offer expires and the price floats.
So if you are interested please order now. Of course if for some reason this project is cancelled full refund will be made.

Hi Acko
I woud like to order one of these but it's not on your homepage any more. Is it still available?

In the other thread you said it will work without the external controller. Will you sell it without that?
Controller was on-board on the protototypes but decided to separate it for the release version.
Hi,
The promotional samples at discounted prices have all been snapped up!
Thank you for your support.
Still available for ordering....

Hi Acko.
Are ESS any closer to releasing the production samples of the chip?

There is a standing order for the parts once all cleared for release. I will check the status again and advise soon.
Hi,
The controller for the new DAC is a full-featured product for pro-audio solutions. For the promotional period it offered free with the bundle. There are only only a few left with this batch after which the controller will be priced separately so you may want to pre-order quickly before stocks are exhausted 🙂

There's always the LT3042 to consider for voltage regulation although these are quite expensive.
Can you tell me the output voltage range of the board to see if it matches or not my tube I/V stage?
This DAC can be used with various IV/output stages - electronic/tube/transformers. More details are in the users manual.
