dude, sometimes the difference in part numbers can be as simple as one is RoHS compliant(lead free) and one is not(old part number, contains some lead maybe).
Sometimes the part number is different for the same part, but in full reals or ammo packs(you will notice the minimum quantity for ordering will be like 1000,2500,5000,etc.).

The current estimate is early February, but it could change -- maybe earlier, maybe later.

I can wait, no problem

Thanks for the quick reply, and for all the effort you (and MisterX, of course ) are putting into this.

fwiw, that chip is ONLY needed on the usb board and if you don't need the usb conversion part of things (immediately) then you can still build the dac board part of the project and enjoy spdif input.

then when the pcm chip finally comes out again, you can build the usb part of the project.

The PCM2706 is available at Mouser and Digi-key.

Digi-Key - 296-15275-5-ND (Texas Instruments - PCM2706PJT)

There is no need to wait if you are located in the US.

the 2706 is pin compatible and just lower voltage output (on the line-outs) right? so it ONLY matters if you use line-outs - which on the usb board you do NOT, correct?

edit: maybe I'm thinking of the wolfson and not the pcm chip.

The PCM2706 supports an external rom, which is not used in the project. Otherwise they seem to be identical.

I noticed that - it seems you can over-ride the 'ti burr brown' strings if you really wanted to

that certainly does not matter to us! so its nice to have 2 choices in the same equiv part.

thanks.

Nobody ever expect nothing from us...... but the truth is that we are there, watching in the shadows

Stop joking now gents, this is a serious thread, amb will spank me . Seriously now, I'm planning to pair this DAC with an amp that I've not started yet, in the same case, so there's no hurry for me. Anyway, many thanks for your suggestions

The official γ1 website is now live. Please have a look. The Specifications section and a small portion of the parts list section is still under construction but it is otherwise complete and usable.
