So, I'm getting ready to place an order for the DAC that I've designed (http://www.cellandtissue.com/diy/dac/proto_all.png).
I've gotten a lot of advice at various forums, including this one, and I think it's ready to go. The PCB is the mini-board size from ExpressPCB, so I will get 3 boards. I'd like to keep one for myself, but I'm looking to find one or two experienced DIYers (comfortable with SMD) who might want to build a prototype. I'd give you a board free of charge. Of course, I can't afford to give the components, but except for the chips and transformer, most of them are fairly standard and cheap. The board takes dual inputs (+ ground), and I've configured the BOM for +/- 15 V, although there is quite a lot of variability here. If you are truly interested in doing this, all I would ask is that you build it in a timely fashion (within a month or so), and let us know about your experiences. You could resurrect this thread when the time comes, and post pictures. Well, I've said my peace. I know it's a long shot, but if there are any brave and selfless DIYers willing to help a newbie out, send me a PM. Before placing the PCB order, I'd ask you to review the PCB as well, to check for mistakes (but not major design changes). Oh, I forgot to mention that obviously, you would be able to keep the DAC after you built it. For more info on the PCB, you can click on my link below.
