Transfo PCB dimensions

Hi Quanghao. Do you have the transfo PCB dimensions as shown on this 3D rendering of your DAC. I'll make a pcb and I want to make sure it will fit into the chassis. Or even better if you have the Gerber of your design, I can use it.
Thanks. SB

The chassis

after two weeks of work from 8am to 22 pm. I came back, went over 2000 km, I had chassis model is complete, all the silver aluminum. Please see results. I'm happy!
Thank you very much, more!
