I think the γ1 design is mature enough to enter the prototype phase. If you are interested in joining the prototyping team, PM me.

My vote would go to the USB+DAC 'full' configuration. Perhaps you can do a group buy on that, and then fab to order for the other configs. Another possibility for the alternate configs is to release the design files and let people cut and paste.

γ1 v0.60 prototype boards have been ordered. In a little over 2 weeks plus shipping time, the prototype team will be busy!

That will be a very long two weeks for some of us.

Here is a 3D rendering of the boards. Some parts are missing and others are not exactly the right type or color, but this is good enough for illustrative purposes.

Aren't you on the proto team? It's in your email =P

He's using Imagineering to make the prototypes. I know that.

I mean that actual drawing 3 posts up. The program I use for PCB gives me an OK 3D view, but I like his renders.

POV ray to render the images, eagle 3D to create the render files from a eagle pcb.

Well that puts me out of luck, but good to know.

For those who aren't keeping up with the γ1 thread at headwize, the prototype boards had arrived and are on their way to everyone on the prototype team. MisterX had built up a full version, a lite version and a USB-to-S/PDIF converter and they all work beautifully. I will begin building mine and do some testing, and with the team's input I will incorporate some enhancements/fixes to the PCB layout for the production board run.

Here is a view of the prototype (v0.60) boards:


Here is MisterX's "full" configuration DAC board:


And his "lite" configuration DAC board:


The USB board:


The USB board populated as a USB-to-S/PDIF converter:


Ignore the yellow jumper wire in the lite config DAC board. MisterX was testing without the power mux chip. On the production board there will be a real jumper header for this option.
