DAC AD1862: Almost THT, I2S input, NOS, R-2R

I ordered a PCBs from JLCPCB. Wish me luck:D
For 63? I know only dac with digital filter. I can't imagine the NOS version. This is first version which I see for all my experience) It's very interesting the final result!
I also ordered 1702 chips yesterday. The board will be ready to the next week and I start to search and buy the details. I was very impressed by 1704K Dac.
 
Miro, what do you think about of galvanic isolation and separate feeding of the usb transport? Is it possible to get with my Amanero for example? I heard that is very positive for sound and many people use that. What does it take?
I used one from silicon labs for I2S signal, then removed it and the sound went slightly better (well, it is subjective). I did not notice any practical improvement == I will never use it again with DAC ;)

I am interested in how much current the DAC consumes (with AD1865), primarily the digital part with shift registers (+ 5V). At the moment it is very difficult to get adjustable version of the LT1963/3015 so I have to make an alternative power supply. For + 5V. That’s until I get LT regulators. I plan LP2950ACZ-5.0, (TO92 100mA), for +5V digital part. The analog part with OPA will be + -12V with LM2940 CT-12 regulators. OPA is Sparkos SS3601. The analog part of the AD1865 will be + -5V with LP2950ACZ-5.0 regulators. The transformer has two 12VAC secondaries, 16VA.

AD1865 is power friendly, very low current consumption.
25mA for digital part with shift registers is enough ;) ... analog part +-30mA.
