Low cost ES9018 DAC board GB

[atupi]

When I signed up for this I imagined it would have been all thought through and it was just a matter of joining the dots.How am I going to know where to solder the components? As in different values of resistors and capacitors etc...Is there a schematic to work from?

I understand a full schematic will be provided after Gb not the blank schematic shown.

I understand a full schematic will be provided after Gb not the blank schematic shown.

If its available why cant I see it now? I'm sick of continually trying to get info on this,there's something wrong here, so I'm out.

Hi,
Is the group buy still going?

Yes , and I have all the info I need to make this DAC .
Please mark mine unsolder , as I can solder myself.

 

[cristi289]

Come on guys, let's cut the crap and make that GB to be finished.
I'm in with 1 PCB, 1 ES9018K2M+oscillator (pre-soldered)
Best regards,
Cristi.

Small update: Everyone participating in the gb will get the code to run the DAC. Initially the DAC will run on the default register settings requiring no user intervention and will run like a ES9023 but with automatic signal detection and default filter settings and there will not be any need for LCD display and encoder. All participants will get a software update little later and they can add an LCD display and encoder to their existing setup if they want and will have full control over various settings of the ES9018K2M......thanks

4 mono boards & unsoldered ESS DAC chips

Hi Syllable,

Subject to the full schematic, BOM and instructions being supplied I will go for
4 mono boards & 4 unsoldered ESS DAC chips.
It would be ideal ( more UK buyers) if you could also supply any key parts which are on longer lead times in the UK.

Thanks
Derek.

So Syllable, let's make things more clear for everyone, you will provide for 20USD per pcb and 20USD/dac chip:

-full schematic (already done in my opinion)
-BOM (already done in my opinion)
-software and instructions how to program the chip

I think people would be more interested if information about this GB is more consistent and well presented.

Mono boards you can give a skip at this time. I have put a temporary hold on the mono boards. It is little costly to make than a ES9018K2M. So when more people are interested I will think about it. So for time being I am just offering this ES9018K2M low cost DAC only, you can give a skip to the dualmono... Thanks

Stereo boards will be ok!

Hi Syllable,

Shame about mono boards, but I can understand about the costs and you just wanting to get the first GB done and establish a good name for your project.

I will go for 4 stereo boards and 4 ESS DAC chips unsoldered.

Thanks
Derek.
