This is Vlad's kit. First image is what he provisioned to me, essentially complete without chassis, wiring between boards, input/output hardware, power inlet/fuse holder.
1541 chip, non-oversampling, 6N2P-EV NOS tubes, nice caps.
Second image is kit housed in larger Galaxy chassis supplied by DIY store.
Fired right up, sounds superior to the low end Project e DAC as expected. A really good value and step up. I run an old high end Sony CDP into a Monarchy anti-jitter box, haven't tried streaming contemporary sources.
