AckoDAC based on AK4499EQ

Sorry, I deleted the post earlier 🙏
AKM DAC is 2ch as standard. If you want 8 ch one, special build only

….If AKM, what is cost for 6 or 8 chan?

x3 for 6ch or x4 for 8ch - hardware and price estimates scaled accordingly

ps: early adopters for the standard 2ch one re: this batch shown in earlier post, will of course get discounted ones 🙂

@acko Hi, is an 8 channel version with I2S inputs possible? without analogue volume control.

Possible as posted earlier. Single Digital master volume as standard

Testing… @DSD256
DAC needs +/-15V master supply (9-15V). On-board regs distribute to all different sections. Simplifies power supply arrangement. If preferred, on-board ones can be bypassed for choice of external supplies for just about every section e.g. batteries, ultra caps etc..

Forgot to mention my test gear audio chain:
Surface Pro4 core i3 -> HqPlayer5/Roon -> DAC -> Benchmark AHB2 Amp -> Jordan JX92 speakers*

*Pearl Acoustics Sibelius upgrade soon …😊

Any update on the dual mono dac? Or the stereo one?

Getting there with production, stereo versions initially…
