Yea I saw that, I suppose I can do it that way. I was hoping Glass Jar or hobodiy carried it.

I've never been so high as when I plugged this into my laptop and it was not only recognized, but works LOL, and sounds great.
I can't wait for the next project.
Many thanks to MisterX and AMB, I hope others enjoy this as much as I have.

red light does not mean it is not working. It just means it is not receiving an audio signal on the selected input.

Or, as I understand it, the red light is on when there is no actual music playing under USB connection. When the DAC is connected to either optical or coax, it is green all the time, as long as a good connection is made, even if music isn't playing. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've noticed on my y1.

I made the DAC and it works however the light is always green. Sometimes it flickers to red for the blink of an eye when changing modes but it always remains green.

It doesn't really matter, but I'm just curious why this is?

Has anyone compared the sound to a HR microdac or iBasso D1 ? If so, how does the y1 fare ?

Yes, this is exactly what happens on mine.

Even on USB, when no music is playing? Odd. What platform/OS are you running? What playback software?

XP and Vista both do it, just media player and win-amp. I can fully unplug USB and run it on the wall power and it is still green, all three sources are green when all it has is wall power.

Hmmmm, sounds like your NOR gate chip U8D is doing funny things.

Mine was green when the music was playing, I just paused it and removed the mini for a pic. It goes red when hooked up to usb, and green when playing.

dude_500, check your solder joints at U2D pin 14 and 15, as well as all pins of U8D. Make sure you have the correct chip installed for U8D. The marking should say "A02x" (x is irrelevant).

The TOTX147PLFT-ND optical-reciever is hard to come by. Can is use another toslink optical-reciever which have the same pin number and is for board mount?

No. TORX179 needs a 5V supply (minimum 4.75V) while the correct TORX147PL/FT is 3.3V.

Where are you located? The correct part is available from Digikey and Arrow in the US, and from Farnell in Europe/UK/Australia/Asia, etc.
