I'm a network engineer who is inspired by DIY audio. I'm not sure I have what you would call audiophile ears. I think they're more musician-oriented.
I got started in the DIY space building binary amplitude diffuser/absorbers to treat the walls of my music studio. My focus has shifted of late to updating my stereo equipment on the other side of the house. Everything's analog at the moment, and I'd like to add some high res streaming, so a DAC & streamer have my interest. I'm looking at different designs now as well as whether to build or buy. But I haven't listened to any nice DACS. None. I gotta change that.
I like tinkering and also like the idea of being able to control the quality of the hardware & design. I've been looking different designs, including some from Ian Canada.

All that much easier to enjoy the music rather than the equipment.
Looking forward to your creation(s).
