SOLD
Just done up today, one set of complete and tested Miro AD1862 DAC + JLSounds i2sOverUSB stack.
In my opinion, this is the most direct and best combo for the gem, AD1862.
Sounds wonderful. It is a full, completed DAC, a pair of NE5534 op amp is included on board the IV stage.
Play with your own op amp to choose your flavor after that, although i can say that the NE5534 is an enjoyable result.
You need +5/-5V and +12/-12V 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.
Case it up with transformers, PSU, connectors and you are ready to rock and roll.
If you are wondering why I am selling this gem - I think some members here are aware that i usually buy enough parts to do up a few boards.
All parts used are bought brand new, including the AD1862 chips, for the purpose of putting up the DAC. All caps are high quality ones including Nichicon gold, Elna Tonerex, Panasonic FM etc
I am asking USD$300 for this DAC , and i will cover the worldwide registered shipping with tracking available.
I am only ready to accept Paypal Family and Friends as payment.
I have shipped 52 packages to US, UK , asia and Europe, not a single glitch so far.
