Well, for example, if I ordered 50 boards, I could sell them for, let's say, $15 each (plus shipping/paypal), and they would have soldermask/silkscreen. However, that would require me to put up front quite a bit of cash to order the boards. If I knew there was enough demand...it would be no problem. To give you guys a rough estimate, since I first built the ezdac, I've sold roughly 40-50 boards over the last 10 months or so. Are there enough other DIYers interested in this project? I don't know.

I've been selling them for $20 USD - but I only have one board left! (And it will be taken very soon.)
I started an Interest Check thread over at my forum. If anyone is interested in getting boards from me, please go there, so I can get a good estimate of the demand. If there is enough demand for boards, I will place another order within a couple of months. Here's the thread (you will need to register, but it's completely free, of course):

Thanks!
Very interested!
Ray, can you give a quick update of the sonic performance with the Flea mounted in the ezDAC ?
And btw, great job with the PCB.

I used The Flea with the standard Abracon fitted first, and now I have a Tentlabs XO on it. The difference between the on-board oscillator and a Flea is the same as can be observed with many cd players: more relaxed soundstage e.g. more quiet background and less fatigue, more defined highs and sound opening up, less sticking to the speakers.
As far as my judgement goed, the difference between the Tentlabs XO and the standard can are not that big, maybe the Abracon already has very decent specs? It's hard to do an A-B comparison when you have to unsolder the oscillator 😀.

There's no way I'm soldering SMD. Will boards be available for sale with the SMD parts (at least the ICs) already soldered on? It'd be well worth paying the extra for those of us with sketchy soldering skillz!
Lol. What's wrong Simon, do you have Sausage-fingers?
I don't mind smd tbh, a pair of tweezers, small iron tip and loads of patience. I actually use smt when I build lm317 regs.

I can break larger components, so the bigger the better! I do need a new iron tip, as my one broke and is more of a blunt stub now...
