Full kit $130, what do you think?

again, this is the schematic,

these are the pics of built ones:

I probably am gonna buy both this one and the AD1865 one. but I want to know what do you think before I take the plunge.
Too bad you can't see the schematic, I believe the true opinion can only be given after you see the shematic as that's much more important than these pics. anyone can host two PDFs for me?

wow! ..are they assenbled or kit? are all the componenets included (enclosure, rca's etc...)? do they ship to Europe?...sorry for all the questions but it looks great and it just fits the bill for a gift to myself

yes they have assembled version for $30 more. everything included but you probably have to know Chinese to communicate with them...

How big are they?

 

[jboehle]

I could host those pdf's for you. Shoot me a PM.

Is shipping for this one also $40?

What do you guys think of the parts selection (ie. caps)?

 

[ScubaSteve87]

I can't read chinese, and that site comes up as a bunch of question marks. I was going to be ordering a Lite DAC-AH for xmas, but this does look tempting. Can anyone who speaks chinese get some more info on this. Although, maybe I won't deal with the voltage hassel and just get the DAC-AH

 

[diablo9]

jboehle, PM sent

yes I guess the shipping is also around $40, excluding transformer, you won't need it in 110V country anyway.

maybe schematic can answer most of the questions?

very poor design decision placing DAC and receiver on socketed adapters.. no decoupling and the PLL loop filter network too far from the chip.. well at least the PCB in red looks fantastic

you mean the DAC chip should be directly soldered on the board? but people always socket the op-amp right?

anyone else could explain why the 2nd part could be bad?

 

[jerb]

do the chips come presoldered?
