Is there a DAC kit around with mostly through hole parts available? I get that the DAC chip itself probably must be SMD, but other than that?
Anyone?
Anyone?
The only surface-mount parts are the integrated circuits, all other parts are through-hole. |

and you want a fan that vents to the outside running while you do it |
