May be you've already know about it...
You should be aware that Hot and Neutral are reversed for US & UK plugs. If you use a normal UK power cord, you may need to reverse the wires at the back of the EMI filter. Better clarify it with Quanghao.

Thanks Danny_66. So post #866's diagram is correct for both channels, except the labeling of the transformer should say "bottom view (facing pins)"?
Hello,
Do you think that LL1539 is a good candidate ?

Sorry, somehow I've mixed up there, the IEC socket side should be fine, so no wires-switching is needed at the filter side.
Hi Quanghao, any updates on my DAC yet? On a different note, any thoughts about your next project? How about Hypex ncore monoblocks in a matching chassis? After all, the DAC can function as a suitable pre-amp.
No idea, if you have them laying around you could try them.
Here is someone who tested the ll1539 with the ES9018.
I do know that the amorphous cores like the LL1684 sounds more detailed, better resolution.

It turns out it doesn't matter, it would work correctly either way.
It took me a little while to figure this out, but if you check you should find the same thing. You need to flip it so the primaries stay on the same side.

Does anyone know if there is a confirmed working fix for the SP/DIF input not working with higher sampling rates yet? I've seen a number of posts on this topic, but I've not sure if this problem has actually been resolved yet or not.
The COAX input circuits largely follows ESS official implementation so in theory it should works. I believe TPA has a similar implementation too. Compared to others, Quanghao has removed a 0.1uF cap before the input of the pulse transfo and a 0.1uF cap in the comparator circuits (C36). I believe his goal is to minimize the usage of caps in signal path to increase sound fidelity.
I do not have SPDIF source to test but from the limited info I gathered, I may try the following non-destructive mods to test the COAX input before implement it on the board itself.

With all due respect: Are you serious?
Then is it supposed to be my imagination that anything higher than 48kHz never, ever locks on SP/DIF, and that 96kHz over Toslink is just barely stable (cuts-out occasionally), and that 192kHz over Toslink is unusable?
I don't know why this problem is occurring here, but I can absolutely verify that all of these signals (which I am sending from my Oppo, via the same exact cables) are being decoded without any issues on a Teac DAC I have. But when I send these exact same signal to this unit, it simply fails to lock at all.
So I appreciate it when other people on the forum are trying to design a fix to a very serious issue which you guys seem to be in complete denial about.

@ Danny,
If I want to rewire mine to work on 110V, I guess I use only one set of the 110V primaries (red/yellow or blue/brown)? I have asked QuangHo for wiring diagram but have not received any response.

Are you using the DAC module inside a metal chassie ?
Have you got the DAC shield by Qhanghao ?
Are you using the filter on main power ?
Have you tested the spdif output with other DAC ?
Also I would like to know if other person have problem with spdif.
Hi Andrea,

Have you tried to disconnect the input resistance (75 ohm) on DAC ?
Your source can be incompatible with this load.
The standard input impedance is 75 ohm but I remember your other DAC have an input of 1500 ohm.
