GALA DAC - New Product, Coming Soon

Status

Hello,

I will be launching another product shortly, the GALA DAC.

It is based on the same circuitry as the ApplePi DAC (see here). Uses dual Burr Brown PCM1794A chips in monaural mode, with dual differential outputs.

This DAC has S/Pdif input, bit-perfect volume control, and full linear power supplies using LT3042s.

Specs:
SNR: 130dB (0dbFS, A-Weighted)
THD+N: -108dB (0dbFS)
Output Level: 5Vrms
Sample Rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz
Resolution: 16 and 24 bits

Introductory price: $400 ($500 Retail)

Here is a pic of front and back.

The reason I post this here is because I will also make the bare board available without the case to whom ever wants to implement the DAC in their own enclosure, or use it some other way. The price with no enclosure will be in the $275 USD range.

With all the work and running around trying to get the Indiegogo project running, I never had the time to sit down and properly listen to GALA.

Finally got GALA hooked up to my entertainment center, it sound much better than I could have imagined. It's hooked up to a pair of my own custom designed 25W mono-blocks.
