2023-12-18 Ian GB2023 in Now OPEN

Hi Guys,

Ian GB2023 is finally started after a long time of preparing. I thank you for your patience.
It took me pretty long time because there are lot of new and updated products in 2023.

To make your life easier, this time, I’ll list all items at https://iancanada.ca. You will have a total 12% discount for this GB because of the Paypal fee is also eliminated using credit card payment.

I separated products in different catalogs, and put many solutions and configurations in the Project sector. I believe that will be a great help to select products for your project rather than a long list. You will find more surprise if you put the projects into your shopping cart.

You will receive a diyAudio message with the check out instructions and the discount coupon code.
Please do let me know if you don't receive the message in two days.

Terms and conditions:

One year warranty for all finished PCB assembly. That means repairing service is free within 1 year from date of purchase.
If the damage is caused by your DIY activities, please kindly donate some money to my PayPal account to cover my labor of service. Fixing a board usually takes me 1 hour (troubleshooting, rework the SMT, test and repackage). Buyers need to pay round-trip shipping and parts in either case.
I cannot 100% guarantee a fix if it is badly damaged, for example, by short circuit or other critical failure.
I will also provide firmware upgrades service for free within 1 year from purchases; Buyers also need to pay shipping.
Please also kindly understand that I’m not responsible for debugging the user's DIY system, I only guarantee my products are functional. If you have any problem with your system, please post the issue on the thread, other community members and I will try our best to support.
All GB items are for DIY uses. All sales are final and no return and refund will be accepted.

Ian GB2023 for SC-Pure, FifoPiQ7, UcPure MkIII and so on

*Note1: If you want to join this GB2023, Please just put your ID and items to the interesting list at the end of this thread so that I can reserve the GB products for you. Of course you have no problem to cancel your items if you change your mind later because it’s just an interesting list.

*Note2: This post will be kept continuously updated for new information, so please come back often to check.

Normally I run a group buy (GB) every two years. 2023 is a very special year. COVID is gone, and I have a lot of great products released/upgraded or to be released. So, I think it's time to prepare for the new possible GB2023.

As usual,to express my thanks to diyAudio community members for their long time support, I’ll offer a one time 10% discount during the GB2023 run time window.

Some items are already released and available, you can buy them now by sending me the order form back to me if you don’t want to wait for the GB2023 discount.
All items will be listed here: https://github.com/iancanada/DocumentDownload

Thanks again.
Ian

wow Ian, and guys, having one of these sets here, i can say without bias that is a pretty excellent price! the boards are very high quality, better than most of the kits here. just the spdif input board is the best i have seen and that price is better than un-assembled lesser kits elsewhere that are not as complete. the i2s fifo has no competitors that i know of. for full disclosure i havent tested mine out yet, just admired it and it was a generous gift from Ian, so keep that in mind.

snap them up while you can imo

having seen the boards, i dont think that is a wise idea to try to solder yourself and good luck getting the parts for that pricing.

@ Algar_emi this 2 cables is just for spdif? 2 cables wont do all that much to help with i2s connection unless you are just using them for mclk and nothing else

Is it possible to purchase an unpopulated kit?

Hi necplusultra​

Very good question. I understand what you mean. Just let me explain why I couldn’t just supply the empty PCB and components.​

Different from those discrete 74 logic boards which you could test point to point by yourself, the FIFO board has all the logic state machines running at decades of MHz inside the FPGA/CPLD. Even though you could solder those SMT components with perfect, you still have to face the problems of ISP and testing. For example, the on-board FIFO memory has 4 megabit cells, if some of them have reading or writing glitch occasionally, you might be noticed something wrong by listening, but you can’t address it. ​

Beside the FIFO board, another FPGA based dedicated test board was designed at same time. That test board could takes over all the input and out ports of the FIFO KIT, scan all the functions and cells by performing loop testing to make sure everything is good with bit perfect, as well as the S/PDIF board and the clock board. All of the boards for the group buy have to pass that test before delivery. Otherwise, it would be a big trouble for both of us. 🙂

Have a good night! Regards,​

Ian​
