Hi Paddy I need 6 ad1862 and 2 ad1865 if you have. I can’t figure out where pm is unfortunately- can you reach out to me?

Unfortunately, just last week Rochester decided that my small consulting business doesn't meet their OEM agreements, so I've no more supply. Sorry.
I imagine someone with a manufacturing business who could supply kits would meet the rules, so hopefully someone can pick up the banner.

Sorry, no experience with any of them. At least with AD1862 you're not likely to get a completely different chip passed off, maybe just a lower grade marked higher.
Hi I’m interested but have a couple of quick questions as I’m new to diy. I’m wondering if this is suitable as an upgrade for an mhdt labs Havana dac… and If it would need any further mods to implement it
As in, use a Miro board as part of your Havana? Or build a standalone dac?
Either way, the Havana pics that I could find look a lot like what folks here aspire to do with Miro's board: a good chip set, decent looking components, seems like a solid power supply, and some thought put into the output stage. There is some intrinsic sound difference between the PCM56P and AD1862 boards I've built and listened to, but tbh if I had a Havana I'd look more at experiments in the output stage than changing the DAC itself. You'd want to do that with a Miro dac anyway.

Thanks to a suggestion by @diyiggy I was able to order through Digikey, so have a few more but this will be my last batch - work has been extremely busy.
This should work in Europe also - someone there should run a group buy and save folks the USPS fees (chips have to go as an international package due to the thickness of the envelope).

I don't have singles but with postage costing about as much as a chip you should buy a pair and sell your single.
