This is a very compact and cool looking TDA1541 DAC for your consideration.
I am providing quite a bit of details, so please read with patience.
The first thing to note that the TDA1541 chips are de-soldered from Cambridge Audio CD2.
I have obtained it from a very kind member here, I only paid for shipping from UK : TDA1541
The chips came with the boards, with aluminium plates glued on as heatsink or other purpose that i may not know.
As i removed the aluminium plates, most part of the prints on the chips were stucked to the adhesive used.
The chips were all removed by me, no pins are damaged, all in full length and clean.
If you mind the cosmetics of the TDA1541 chips, then this DAC board is not for you, I suggest you skip this post.
More details of the DAC board in the post below.

If you are still reading this, it is likely that you don't really care about the superficial defects on the chips.
Here is the info of the DAC board:
1. The TDA1541 is working in simultaneous mode.
2. The pin headers is compatible for stacking with JLSounds and also York and Reclocker
But please take note that the owner of York has got the TDA1541 mode ready, to be released soon.
3. uf.l connectors are on the board just in case you wish to use other I2S-PCM board, just for eg. Ian Canada i2s-pcm , and of course you may also use the female pin header on the DAC board for interfacing.
What you need to supply :
1. USB-I2S interface, as mentioned above as examples.
2. Your own PSU : +5V for the XO and reclock if you want to use the two stackable boards mentioned
+/-5V for the DAC
-15V for the DAC
+/-12V for the I/V stage on the board
3. Your own op amp, you will need two single op amps just for eg. OPA828 , plenty of others of course. Experiment and find your own favorite.
I have a few JLSounds board that are brand new and configured for TDA1541 Simultaneous Mode if you wish me to include in the sale. Just DM me to discuss. I will be selling them at whatever I paid for from JLsounds.
DAC + shipping = 160 USD or preferably 215 Singapore dollars (PAYPAL FF only please)

Of course I can provide you schematics and gerber files and BOM if you wish to make your own boards.
I can send to you if you show me that you have bought a couple of coffee for Miro, who is always generous in supporting my silly demands.

The above listed board is sold now.
If you can wait a week or so, I will make another one, which would be the last due to chip availability.
Just DM me to discuss.

I have been asked and i may as well clarify here.
SGD215 covers the DAC board and shipping to you. No other costs.
Due to some payment challenges faced (not the issue of the member) , this one last board is back on sale.
