I will receive a first working sample in a few days, looking forward to try this DAC !
Thanks to everybody for feedback and advice.
This DAC will be possible to make in different versions, with/without TE7022 USB, with/without CS8421 upsampling, and with/without TCXO oscillator. This board can also be used with different DAC's (voltage output only) but we'll start with CS4398.
Will you be giving your impressions of the various options to the DAC?
I received the DAC sample yesterday, and I really loved the sound of it. looking forward to get some more listening impressions from others.
which switch ?
(try to say this several times 😀)
looks like a volume control. Maybe a better word is selector ?
Hey, Nick122147.
I've been trying to reach you through email about a hifimediy DAC enclosure but I think my messages have not reached you. Is PM working for you here?
Shoot me a PM if you can.
Thanks!

Looks great. I am looking for a simple dac, only toslink/spdif (perhaps coax) in, must sound fantastic 😉. Looking forward to your progress.
I have received some boards now in 3 different configurations.
1) with USB, Upsampling and TCX0
2) with USB, TCX0
3) with TCX0 and upsampling.
i didn't have any time yet to try the difference between with/without upsampling.

Hi, i've send an email on hifimediy website, but may be I can have an answer on this topic.
A copy of the message :
Hi,
I wanted to know some things about this product.
1- Is it possible to add some del for indicate switch position ?
2- What is the size of the board?
3- I have a connexelectronic smps 500, with an auxiliary of 12V. Can i plug the auxiliary on this dac with paralell wires for the 2 12VDC ?
Thanks
Regards

"It is powered by two sets of 9VAC or 12VDC. 1 x AC or DC can also be used with less optimal result."
So for 3 no problem but for 1 and 2 can't help 😉

This is a good news.
I was about to order other DAC kit out of eBay. But as this is coming out and being big fans of hifimediy products, I'll wait.
Several questions :
1. Do you plan to sell the DAC chip module (with WM8741, AK4396, etc) to be used with this board ?
2. My T2 board already have PIO K-75 2.2 uF as input caps, can I bypass the output cap and going direct to the PIOs ? If yes, can I order the DAC without the caps ?
thanks in advance & pls post the opinions of the sound.

@hifimediy
my TA2050 fail to power up, red LED is blinking, power input is 36v
what is the root cause of this problem ?

1. what is del? If can put a switch with a mark on it and write the inputs name on the enclosure.
2. PCB size: 100mm x 110mm. height 25mm
3. Yes that is possible. I'm not sure how big difference using dual DC would make, it will be better for sure, just not know exactly how dramatic changes it would make.
@ i2k92:
We might offer other chips later, but first we need to get started with this one.
You can probably bypass the caps. If you still have the 50K vol.pot on the T2, then the 2.5V from cs4398 would short into the pot, but it might be such a small current at 50K that it might not be a problem. We will not make the DAC without the caps, but it would be very simple for you to bypass it yourself.
