Crazy work for the last month has kept me really, really, busy.


biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif but you're trying ... that's great news.

 

The PupDAC sounds wonderful on the Dsavitsk/Beezar Torpedo. smily_headphones1.gif

Just cased my pup1 dac, this evening.  I'm going to give it some extensive listening this week.  Thanks for the great project.  I hope this ends up with a new revision, soon (with a kit with panels).  Those mini usb jacks aren't fun to cut out.

Hmm ... we'll keep the case idea in mind.  I know what you mean - I would never try the exact shape by hand and have only used a rectangle when I've done it.

 

I understand cobaltmute may be sort of close to finishing the new revision.  The Pup has been my primary listening source for many months now.

I finished the revision of the board recently and am sitting on it right now. I find giving myself a break and then coming back to it after a week or so helps to sanity check on the layout.

That's great news. I had almost given up on this puppy. Will Beezar be selling complete kits of this DAC (just like the GrubDAC) in the near future?

It is embarrassing how long it has taken me to get to this point. Hopefully you all feel it is worth the wait.

I can only compare this dac to the grub dac, gamma 1, bantam dac and alien dac.  The pupDac is clearly in a different category.  It's very detailed and I just enjoy the music.  I'm building a gamma 2 and it will fun to compare the two.  Thanks needs to go to cobaltmute and tomb for a fun project.

Thanks for those kind comments!

 

I got notice that the PCB's shipped last night, so I'm thinking I'll have them by Thursday at the latest.  I'll post some pics when I have them.  Cobaltmute suggested that I supply the jacks, since they're the only thing that has to be ordered from DigiKey.  I have those already in hand as of yesterday.

 

Also, we haven't "officially" asked for prototype volunteers as of yet, but those of you who have volunteered will definitely be asked first.
