Palani Acoustic DIY DAC

hello dear community :)

I wanted to show you my self-made streamer and DAC, which is built with Ian Canada components, and a few other things that I have developed myself.
above all i have been working on the cabinets, which are completely designed and manufactured by myself

This is now my fifth version, and has now been split into two cases, one case with the dirty power supply, a display is also built in, with which the actual streamer can then be controlled.

Everything is built like a power tank, the audio part runs completely on LifePo4 batteries with Superccaps, and can listen to music for a few hours with the best ESR values...
The complete structure is in dual mono, from dac 038Q2M dual mono DAC HAT is a very high quality DAC for Raspberry Pi. It uses two ES9038Q2M SABRE 32-bit chips, each operating in mono. The entire power supply is also dual mono. Each part has its own power supply, via LifePo4 like 325 Farad supercaps.

Still under construction; and I still have to finalise a few things :)

 
here are a few more pics :)

hi Gerald, and thank you very much for the comment and the kind words :)

in fact it's getting more concrete now, at least I met the right people last weekend who are interested in putting my stuff in the shop and pushing it as a brand...unfortunately I can't say too much yet :) but 2024 seems to be the beginning of a new era for me in that direction

I thank you ;)
 
Hallo Frank (aka Palani),

have seen Patrik's (sound.in.grooves) interview with you, pretty awesome ;-) Seems you share similar B&W's like Ian ;-)
I really look forward to see your build/kit offerings this year ;). You have for sure lot of technical skills, but also for astonishing designs!

Well done, keep going!
Gerald
