HI!
not I have price now. the front by aluminum 15mm .
Yes, i have one kit dac for you
please wait it!
thanks
quanghao

Quanghau can you tell me if I am connecting the transformer correctly:
In the pics purple/green = 12V, red/yellow = 158V.
My transformer gets very hot so there is a problem. In the pics above you are using a centre tapped transformer for the HV rail but only two diodes for half wave rectification?

Adeveza I have 2 x 150uf / 450V for C3A and C3B. Use anything 100uf or over with appropriate rating and diameter. 2.2uf would be fine for C1 I imagine.
I though about getting a 100uF+100uF 500Vdc F&T dual capacitor for the C3 position, apparently they are good. Mundorf do similar:
100uF+100uF 500Vdc F&T

Thanks passive420, I already have 2 x 100uf/450v and 2.2uf/400v wima cap, so I guess, I will use them. I will start building the ps this weekend, so we will see.
Just curious, which dac are you going to use these for? I was looking at the Buffalo, but boy, they are complex and expensive, but very flexible. I will use Quanghao's DAC.
I am having problems with the regulator board.
The 12V rail makes the transformer get very hot, I have tried with two different transformers and both heat up alarmingly quickly. All components and soldering are correct.
Also I cannot get over 158V DC output on the HV rail, VR1 does not seem to work. The LED lights up fine though.
Has anyone got their supply boards working?

I have the Buffalo II, still available but cheaper. I would also consider the Twisted Pear COD dac, good for the money. Quanghau's dac looks a real beast!
Do you have one trafo that do both hv and filament? if so, disconnect first the HV and trouble shoot the lv first. Isolate the HV and LV, trouble shoot individually.
Yes I tested both rails separately, the HV works in that it's converting AC to DC but I'm not getting the right voltage output. Not sure if VR1 should be adjusting current or voltage.
The filament rail was tested with two separate transformers and both got hot immediately, as did all four diodes.
I see the Buff II has indeed sold out sorry.
On the filament, I highly suspect there is something wrong with the build. Make sure diodes are installed correctly, and the regulator chip, which one are you using? There was something wrong with the board, I believe in one of the regulator chip. If the diodes gets hot right away, make sure also that they were not damaged, because of the initial error.
The way I do it is that I do it in steps, I would install the diodes first and fire it up to see if the install is right, then the regulator, and test again, until I get to the last part of the circuit. This way, you isolate the problem, if any.
JP - did you get your supply working ok? What transformer specs will you use?
If someone else can confirm the supply works ok then I know it's something on this board. No components overheated but it was the rapid rise in temp that was all wrong.
Diode look correctly oriented with Cathodes going to positive lead on capacitors and Anodes to negative.

I'm getting 245V DC at C3 filter caps. Output is 153V DC!
Somewhere the circuit is dropping 90V but the heatsink isn't even warm and VR1 simply does nothing. I'll probe around the reg and get some readings
I'm hoping you can get yours to work. That's something to go on.
