CAD
Hmmm I might be a little late with the answer i suppose, The cad i use is solidworks and then i render it via Keyshot 5.
I have been far to busy to do anything with the Shiga, it is still sitting on the audiophile piece of mdf.
I do have a lot of boxes with parts and about 30kg of raw aluminium stock.😀
I am glad to see you made a very goodlooking chassis for the shiga, and also a nice remote housing.

John

Thank you John, for your replay.
We managed to stay away from commercial software. Therefore, at right time, some Quantum files will be shared with community.
Looking forward to see your final Shiga unit.

Quantum dimensions?
Hello Tibi,
Lots of great pictures of Quantum. Can't wait! But I don't see the dimensions posted anywhere. What's the size? Height from table top to highest spot on top? Width, and length? Thank you.

shiga ''le monstre''
Hi folks,
Here you can see fully D-Reflektor-ized Shiga MKII .
It took some time before I could gather all the pieces together , but it was worth . I did not encounter any difficulty , everything I needed can be found in this thread . It is powered by 4 D-Ref for V1-V2-V3-V4 and 2 Ales ''mravlca'' TPS7A4700 low noise LDO regulators for J6 and Burson clock .
2 r-core (9V 30VA)and one toroidal (12V 50VA) transformers.
There is alot of cool staffs used to build D-Refs like Mundorfs caps , Caddock MP930 resistors , Vishay S102 res , Black Gates .
I also changed some capacitors on Shiga board to Black Gates .
The improvement is ... you have music in your room , alot of transparency and spaciousness , very fluid and detailed . Just perfect .Even my wife listening from the kitchen did noted that she hear every detail as if standing in front speakers .
So ,have to say many thanks to Tibi ,thanks for the help and for making this project come true.

Hi nbivol, looks nice.Did You built a Version without all the extra Parts before,to see what`s worth an upgrade ?

Thank you Tibi.
Hi TD ,all changes were made from the basic kit offered by Tibi and made one by one , after careful listening and burnin period go on to another mod .
You can see previous version of my Shiga some pages before and this is same board .
As about the parts used are parts of my favorites that I preferred during DIY audio.

nbivol. can You say which Mod made the biggest Improvements ?Did You try the Regulators from Tibi ,against the other Regs ?

TD,
Since the EZ shiga times I understood that the most important mod is to separate power supply for each line . Because of this I have not even tried mini regulators from Tibi . From this point of view Tibi created the perfect board, giving the possibility of powering all components separately. And that's the answer,if you want, the biggest improvement is given by separate power supplies with own transformers ,rectifiers,filtering capacitors etc.

Hi Fabian85,
it depends on the height of the heatsink you will use, I used 40mm heatsinks plus 10mm standoffs makes about 50mm height . But 40mm heatsink it's a bit marginal for V1 that have been set for 450mA and temperature is near 70 degrees.

Hi Tibi,
You might want to take a look at fusion 360, it is a FREE commercial cad/cam package from autodesk and it is very good.
There are a lot of tutorials on youtube.

Hi John,
Thank for this info. I switched to linux in 2006 and I'll never come back to windows, but my daughter have a mac and I'll give him a test. 🙂

long flat cable
Dear friends,
Here you see the changes to long flat cable between the board and screen . Looks great with rainbow colors flat cable 🙂

hi Nbivol,
It is coming together nicely, great work on the power supply.
All you need now is a case for all these goodies.😎
For the reflektorD's i use the audyn true copper cap for C1, cheap and also very good.
Great work.

Nope, I have been so busy with orther things i have not had the time to do so.
It is still sitting on a specially selected audiophile piece of mdf.
I hope soon i will have the time and finish it.😉
Then the pearl2, then the salas symplistic phono, then the F5 turbo V3, then the subwoofers, then the ...........😀

Hi Tibi,
I would like to know the recommended laser current (mA) for the SF-P101N pickup model.
Best regards

Laser will peak over 80mA. In Quantum CDT I use a ultra low noise CCS powered from a 500mA regulator.
