This is the Audio Note Kits board but I upgraded it and built one from scratch with better parts especially much better opamps. I'm taking the signal for the interstage right off the I/V resistors.

I'm very interested in your board if it will sound better than the board I have now. I'm using three separate power supplies from Pear Audio for voltage in.

NOS and especially the 1865 dac really sounds more musical than anything I've heard which is why I'm very interested if you perfected a board past what Audio Note has done.

I got chance to compare the Audio Note Dac 2.1 with the DAC END and I really preferred the DAC END, both on sound and price aspects.

The DAC END has smoother sound and better controlled bass. When you go maxxed with the DAC END, the result is even better.

Never got anything. Maybe we should PM.

I want to change the resistors and order some naked ones. Is your recommendation then to go down to 80 Ohm? Or 100 Ohms?

Interesting. My two complaints are bass can get uncontrolled and highs are extended or natural sounding.

fine work, what enclosure he has used? It fits very well.

Anyone have idea where I can buy the AD1865-NK?
Have a new group-buy to buy in Digikey?
