Evening everyone. I was wondering if I could bounce some ideas off of everyone.
Last semester I built a CMOY which is currently being housed in an old distortion pedal. I gutted the pedal and used it as an enclosure. It's time for a change, and I was going to build a nice wooden enclosure like zkool448's. I'm also planning on building an AMB DAC. I'm going to go without the USB option on the DAC since I only have two USB ports on my Macbook and don't want to spare one for the DAC. I'll stick with the optical or SPIDF from my Macbook. Anyway, long story short, I want to put the DAC and CMOY in the same enclosure and power them both from a power supply. One plug from the wall to the enclosure.
What would be the best way to supply the +- 9 volts for the CMOY, and the +5 volts for the DAC?
Also, I thought about just routing the analog out from the DAC right into the input of the amp, no external wiring. I'd lose the ability to use the DAC independently of the amp, but it would really clean up the front panel. What do you guys think, form or function?
