SOLD
I bought this kit from comaberini a couple of months back (see this thread ) and my project list has gotten so long that I'm not sure I'll ever get to it. He originally bought it from doobooloo for $200 and sold it to me for $155 shipped. I'd like to get that back out of it, paypal fees included. If not I'll just keep it and maybe build it in a few years.
From doobooloo's description of the DAC: "The DAC-38 is a pretty serious DAC with an optical input and balanced/unbalanced outputs. It uses two PCM1704K DAC chips, which are very high-performance parts capable of 8x oversampling (to 768KHz). They're followed by a CS8414 96KHz receiver and the DF1704 8x interpolation filter. Kind of the antithesis of the simple dAck-ish non-upsampling approaches to DACs." Here's a link to doobooloo's original for sale thread .
The kit includes all of the expensive chips, the PCB, special transformers, difficult to source heatsinks, schematic, and a bag of expensive capacitors. Doobooloo thought the remaining components would cost maybe $100 to $125, if that. The full kit from diyclub.biz used to cost $420 + expensive shipping, so this is a great opportunity to score a high-end DAC for cheap.
PM is the preferred method of contact. I have feedback here and would prefer buyers with the same type of record (unblemished).
Thanks for looking,
Nate
