Hi!
the kits, not PCB!
thanks

 

[quanghao]

you complete DAC will look like this!
thanks

Can you give me the dimensions of case (chassie), please?
What are the pcbs that's appearing left and right of the dac pcb (into the chassie)? Opamp final stages?

Wow... how many posts back are you able to read?
It only takes 5 ;-)

Yes, this is I/V stage Opamp

thanks

 

[smoothquark]

Just to clarify - is the iv stage a bare board? Is it available fully assembled?

Two simple questions:
1. Shipment is going to be from Italy or Vietnam?
2. Can you elaborate a little more on your control unit - does it have options for changing parameters of sabre e.g. filters etc? Does it have abilty to learn rc5 code from my remote?

From Viet Nam

Ok, may be ,Andrea can change the code for setup other remote.

thanks

 

[audiodesign]

I have no time to modify the infrared decoding code to support rc5, this take long time.

I can develop teh code to chaneg some parameters in the near future, what filter you are interested to modify ?

In any case the kit at 450$ include the remote command.

Many thx for the quickly reply.
One more question, please. Can we changed the input bwt s/pdif-aes-usb by remote control or microswitches on facia?
Thanks.
