Hello all. Can someone help me.
I had been reading this thread before Christmas, and just after the holidays I decided to jump in and get the DDDAC kit. I brought two DACs one assembled and one to be assembled, an assembled power supply and one to be assembled, with the through that I could look at the assembled versions to workout how to put the other ones together, a kind of electronics by numbers.
Now that I have everything in front of me I and doubting my skills especially as the kits where a fair bit of money. so my question is; is there anyone local to Abergavenny, Monmouthshire that I could drop the bits off to for them to assemble it? of course I would pay for the service.
thanks for any help!

Looking very nice Doede! 🙂
Also very excited to hear about how effectively the averaging takes the noise floor down,
cheers,
James

Don't be scared, just take your time and if you're not sure of anything just ask here. It's a very rewarding process and needn't be difficult. There's plenty of guys here happy to help you get it right 🙂
For start you might need to consider some hardware helping tools like:
These two will make things clear. Make sure that multimeter can measure Ampers (A), miniAmpers (mA), resistance (Ohm), and voltage AC and DC. Don't need to be expensive.
LAMP-5D-LEDN1 NEWBRAND - Desktop lamp with magnifier | TME - Electronic components
AM-520-EUR BEHA-AMPROBE - Multimetro digitale | TME - Componenti elettronici
And that will give you upper hand. Buy some iron with station (not all in one handle) and make sure has a nice slim tip and aprox 60W. Don't go tooo cheap with it.
Transfer Multisort Elektronik - On-line Catalogue | 137 000 products offered.
One of these might come in handy

Try diy, and you will never go away from it.
Good luck if you decide to join this team. There are great people here! Many of us are in learning process, like me.
Hi Doede,
This looks very nice! Is a set of prototype boards already on their way to the Dutch test panel for testing? 😀

Hi Doede,
To be a "beta" setup is really well done and well promising as usual 🙂
I can't wait to have two of those boards in the hands.

Hey thanks for the encouragement, honestly I don't need much to get me excited about DIY I usually bite off much more than I can chew but get there in the end. I started on a pare of 3.5 way speakers about 5 years ago and after four incarnations have finally finished with a lovely pair of cherry veneered curved sided speakers.
OK I will dig out my soldering station, get it warmed up and start throwing solder around, but be warned I may end up driving some of you mad with my questions.
see you all soon!

I have further tweaked the DAC to accept the unregulated power separately for each Left and Right via separate second choke and caps. Digital line is on an entirely seperated unregulated powersupply. Will test them tomorrow and if is worthwhile I will post the block diagrams for those of interests. 😉
Time to place these in the box. 🙂

Hi R,
Have now wired up the power supplies! I can hear the improvement but not as big as it was splitting between analog and digital. Nonetheless, improvement are there! I guess it is approaching to the law of diminishing return. Will call this teak as final and proceed with boxing up this baby..!
Best,
Chanh

Dear Doede.
The only reason I am on this forum is because of you. I have intensely read every single word posted in this thread. I have often felt the urge to say something, but I hate typewriting.
Thanks to everybody who have contributed. Kim

Chan, one word of warning. It looks like you are making the same mistake I did. If you connect the isolated side of the S03 via Uf.l's to the DDDAC and use a seperate regulated 5Vdc supply for it, you will connect the ground of that supply (regulated) to that of the rest of the DDDAC, with the parasitic problems that might cause (sounded worse in my case). I'd recommend you use the 5V pin on the DDDAC I2S header to power the isolated part of the S03. See what you make of it.
