Input and switch boards for Soekris DAM1021 DAC

I have one spare Input board, bare PCB only, (plus Raspberry connection PCB) and one Switch board, bare PCB only, as well as the surface mount connector for balanced build, which I would be willing to sell for 25€ plus shipping (from Germany).
 
Have one spare including the smd components soldered on. One input and one switch board. Rev 1.1. Never used.
Same price as the rest? 25€ + shipping is that fair?
Picture soon.

What's the most preferable setup in terms of feeding power. I've got a teroidal transformer with 2 12v outputs and a single TPS7A4700 regulator so I could drive the dam directly or can I just feed 7.5v into the input board and power my rpi and the dam in one go?
 
Hi WCWC, thanks for the info. I'm afraid I bought all these parts 2 years ago and they've been laying in a box since then but I'm hoping to make some progress this week on it.

Because I'm a novice at this stuff I was going to start out by just buying a multi voltage output psu like this :-

before I even think about using the toroidal transformer. (https://sklep.toroidy.pl/en_US/p/TT...grade-transformer-TSAS20VA-voltage-to-50V/373)

From the looks of the dam manual I should be able to just use a standard 12v dc adapter to power that.
What did you mean by dual rail?

It seems that the soekris.eu site needs some updating.. I can no longer find the manual for the 1021 and the spec sheet that does exist is kind of misleading, stating as power requirement this: "Power input 7-8V AC or +-7-15V DC max 5W".

This seems to imply that a single secondary transformer is required which is not accurate. The "+-7-15V DC" is accurate though.

The 1021 requires a dual secondary power transformer supplying 7-8VAC (not more than that!) or a bipolar DC power supply providing +/- 7-15VDC.

If I were you I'd go with a bipolar DC power supply providing about +/-9VDC.
 
Hi DimDim,

I'm afraid I don't know what a bi-polar power supply is. I know very little about electronics which is why I just want to get this project started with 2 cheap DC power supplies that I can buy in any shop.

Working with mains AC and that toroidal is project 2. Project 1 is just getting it to switch on.
