I'll pay some extra if you want
Thanks in advance and sorry for the OT post

I may be able to do that. Shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do.


I have a question for those of you purchasing Alien DAC PCBs in quantity. Do you build the DAC and sell them? I'm just curious since I see many people buying between 4-10 of these.

Wow! Those sold quick! Don't suppose there is any chance of setting the limit even higher to make the boards even cheaper.

Anyway, I don't know about the other 4+ buyers, but I got four because I'm willing to destroy 4 PCM2702s before surrendering and just building p2p tube amps. (The smallest thing you have to solder there is like uhh... a resistor, sweet... of course there is that whole chance of electric shock...)

Though if you are buying 10+ you must either have plans for multiples or really lack confidence in your soldering skills.

I bought 10 PCBs because I like building things and I especially like using the SMD soldering equipment we have at work. Microscopes are fun

3 days and we already hit the limit of 180 boards. Shocking!

I feel that a lot of people would be left behind if we stop right now. Since it is the last round, I decided to lift the limit to let all people get as many boards as they need. For those who don’t know, EuroCircuits have peculiar pricing structure. Ordering 250-300 boards is more expensive than ordering 200 boards. It is per board, of course. If we cannot exceed 300 boards, I will use the profit from previous rounds to fund the difference and retain the price at £1.5 level. The boards will become slightly cheaper if we hit 400. For all other quantities the price still would be £1.5.

If you need to hit 400 later on, I could help out by buying more boards. Besides SMD is fun to solder .

put me down for 5 boards

i'll shoot you an email soon

I ordered 4 because I figure I will have a 50% success rate and I want 2.

[awptickes]

Put me down for two if there are any left.

I went ahead and placed my order for 3.

Thanks Alf!
