I like it! Especially the fairy. :)
 
You got a 'how to' on the DAC assembly?

That's actually a very good friend of mine, who is a digital communications engineer and a model. She does have the nickname "DSP fairy" since she's really good with implementing DSP and other communications related logic in Verilog.
 
On to the DAC, it's a project I did with my best friend. She's a software engineer and a model (can you tell that I really like those who are both engineers and models?), but her most unusual highlight is that audio hardware she works on magically becomes better. I only had some limited time with her before she had to go back for study, so I decided to make the best of what could end up as a once in a lifetime opportunity. In the end, I got a unique top notch DAC, she got some embedded programming experience, and both of us had a great time.

Here's my rig so far :) 

Modi is gone and looking to upgrade the DAC.
 
Focals are on sale and looking to get some bookshelf speakers. 
 
Now back to work!

My newest build:
 



 
 
Using an Asus Xonar Essence STX, with a custom backplate. (about to order Schiit Magni 2 as replacement for the AMP)
 

 
DIY Headphone-stand with my newest addition: Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro.

Pretty nice for a first build, what are the secs? I see an asus strix, 2x 850 pros, cooler master (hyper 212?) but that's all I can really pick out.
