Here is my wrinkle on the Millett Starving Student Hybrid. Sounds pretty darned good for $40 dollars in parts.
Now I want to build a Max or MiniMax.
Thanks Pete!

I have a blue diode to light up the window but I need an easy/cheap way to put a
design or logo in it.

If I could read schematic, I'd so build a starving student.

How does it sound?

mine? the gamma1 or the pimeta?

I can't complain about either. both are highly recommended, both for building and for using

Yes the gamma, im thinking about building one. Impressed?

quite. best bang for the buck dac that I know of

I'm using one as an 'embedded dac' in a home preamp I'm building. it tests well, is small sized, has flexible i/o and sounds great.

I love that repurposed case. I like the way you laid out the heatsinks, tubes and power button and volume knob on it.

Thanks. I wanted to do something fun with this. Standard cases are a little boring. I'm not smart enough with electronics to do anything creative with the circuit, but I can play around with the casework and layout.

Now what's next, hmmm? Maybe a Yu-Gi-Oh! MiniMax.

I decided to experiment with crossfeed, I found the circuit from build your own crossfeed 2
I wanted to make a simple inline crossfeed adapter so I didn't have to build it into an amp, it came out fairly small so I just used heat shrink to protect it.

I'm undecided about the effect, it changes some music more than other, it'll be a while before I can commit to using it full time but it's an interesting experiment.

Chuffed with the sound

would have been easy if I didn't make stupid mistakes

 

[digger945]

^Chuffed eh.
Did you make the pcb yourself Fred?

I am allowing for the tangent pcb in many of my builds. a down side is that you need a lot more gain from the amp. but the crossfeed effect is worth having. note that its also worth being able to bypass/disable it. I use relays (of course)

Yes I use toner transfer for all the stuff I do
