Miro PCM63P-K JLsounds I2SoverUSB Stack

Just done up today, one set of complete and tested Miro PCM63 DAC + JLSounds i2sOverUSB stack.
In my opinion, this is the most direct and best combo implementation of the Miro PCM63 DAC.
Sounds wonderful. It is a full, completed DAC, with a pair of AD797 op amp for the IV.
All resistors are smd, except the crucial IV resistors which are special high grade Vishay GSR.

Check their prices at Mouser by entering Vishay GSR. They cost $20+ a piece, with a MOQ of 25.

You need +5/-5V and +5/-5v directly to the DAC board. The JLSounds board's 'dirty side' is configured to be powered by the USB Bus ie. drawing +5V from your USB source. This can be changed to be powered from a PSU of your choice if you wish. Can be done very easily by cutting a pcb track under the JLSounds board as instructed by the user guide, and then soldering two wires from pads available on the DAC board out to the PSU. The XO and reclock circuit of the JLSounds is drawing +5V (digital supply) from the DAC board when you stacked and isolation from the USB 'dirty side' is achieved. Very neat and clean design, with full isolation achieved.

Case it up with transformers, PSU, connectors, a pair of op amps , connect it to a USB music source and you are ready to rock and roll.
All high quality parts are eg. Nichicon gold caps, Wima film caps etc etc... See the pics.
All parts are BRAND NEW including the PCM63P-K chips. They are installed for the completion and testing to commission the DAC.
Even the JLSounds board is delivered yesterday 1 November.

DAC Stack + shipping tracked & registered = USD 365
I am only ready to accept Paypal Family and Friends as payment.
As usual, I will also buy Miro some coffee as a token for his generous sharing.
I have shipped 58 packages to members here to US, UK , asia and Europe, not a single glitch so far.

Information of the JLSounds i2soverUSB board. This is the USB interface that most members agree to be very good for the DAC.
