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.

What's in the kit and how many other components I need to buy other source to complete the Dac kit. Do you have a completed build unit for sale and how much for the kit or completed units. Did you compared your unit to any current tube dac. I'm currently checking the Wavelength Audio Cosecant dac.
