6-32 tapped machine screws from Ebay


Changed the Stereo/Crossfeed graphics. Notice the increasing size of the "dots" for the Bass and Treble


I made it easier for myself by indicating which switch was which in plain english


Long shot of the back


I wanted to make it more of a Denon feeling for the back

More engraved cases to come...!
Wow, I love the engraving! Any photos of the inside?

Nice job, AK!

What DAC kit is that?

You have a shield between the transformer and the PCB, did your custom transformer cause any noise to be picked up when you remove the shield?

The case is a Hammond 1593P/Q. It sounds better than a META42.


Sijosae's push pull buffers.


Good ol' donutboard. The 30 awg wire jumping is especially tedious.
