I have had to sell on my gamma1, as it is no longer suitable for my system. Just a quick thanks to AMB and MisterX for such a great little DAC!

The source code i am using also belongs to error401. I am using standard wiring to the PGA so its nothing special, take a look at error401's minivol, my project is related.

I love my gamma1, i now have to sell due to changing to balanced system.

I didnt write the firmware, i stole it from someone else, so to modify the design the firmware would need to be re-written. The other I/O pins are shorted as jumpers for various reasons. The microcontroller im using is also full, but im happy to adapt your design into mine, im just...

Meet XAR. My simple volume control with no display. Its a volume control, not a preamp or anything else

Are there any schematics available for the input selection, connection to PGA etc?

Linuxworks, what microcontroller are you using? Im intrested in re rigging your setup to have maybe 2 balanced inputs, 2 single ended inputs and a balanced output, all with invidividual volume controls like the above. How are you controlling the volume for the coax?

Adam, can you point me to that volume knob? linuxworks, im intrested in your project, im just stupid when it comes to programming these microcontrollers from scratch. Let us know once you have got somewhere becuase im definatly intrested in using the source code.

Too much to do, too little time im afraid

Ah yes, this is where my lazyness kicks in...

anyone want to make me some XLR cables?

Adam, problem solved with the volume control.

Thanks, i will take a look. The current draw isnt really a problem. The problem is i dont really want to start paying for panels etc. I may stick with the digital volume control on the squeezebox for now... I am selling the gamma so i can get hold of a dacmagic, too lazy to build an opus (i...

VDC online catalogue

You know what, ive organised the bloody group buy for the B1 now im switching my system over to balanced. Time to think of a new volume control...

Nice pre Adam. To reduce the depth of the knobs, you could allways get them on a metal lathe.

I wish i could get balanced output from this thing! I dont want to see it go so soon

320x65 as per datasheet / technical drawing.

Bojamijams, my original plan was to use two seperate enclosures, as AMB says, this would be the best idea. I wouldnt try de soldering the capacitors, looking at the joints it will take more time and effort then its worth, with the risk of damaging the boards. I was going to use the 100va...

I just breathe normally whilst soldering, dont even bother to open the windows. I have never actually thought about the lead content before now.

Wow i see people soldering with lead free solder, goggles, fume extractors, all the windows open and gloves! I use lead solder with no other protective gear, and i have never had a serious burn!

The Y1 is a great little DAC, a lot more then i was expecting. XBMC will sometimes 'drop' the digital signal if left inactive for a while. I have found the best way to combat this by selecting USB and then back on the y1.
