Looks really neat. Happy not having to solder these SMD's by hand. Maybe you could find time to shoot a couple of pics of your process / machinery for this job?

Neat kit, does it accept i2s input?

 

[pinnocchio]

Those PCBs are looking good!

Hi Merlin2069er, Welcome to the thread 🙂 Here is what Sonny answered me in the TSSA 1.7 thread where this DAC thread started out when I asked about I2S:

...If somebody wants to use an I2S interface with this DAC, they need to program the DAC depending on the mode they wants to use either through SPI or I2C.. All this is part of the firmware in the xmos chip.. If i would choose to provide I2S only then i think it is waste of an good chip. DSD is only available to the DAC with prober DSD signal .. I2S does not provide it...

All the Best, Per

 

[merlin2069er]

Ok, thanks. I've picked up a gustard u12 which outputs i2s.

I then picked up an diyinhk 4490 dac which accepts i2s input.

Anyways, I'm a bit too late for this dac.

Too late. I've invested too much to this point for my dac.

Ahhhh ok. The Big difference here is the housekeeping around the dac. It is superior (IMO)to other on my dac.

Nice.
I see you have implemented a relay on the output board to take care of the thump created by the AK4490 when first time initialized....good thing.
