Just letting you guys know that I just finished my first soldering job ever!!! I fixed a pair of old Sennheisers and my brothers in ears

Awesome experience.

nice first post and nice Cmoy... any pics of the inside? Looks quite a bit more pro than my first mint-tin Cmoy!

Yeah, it'll get expensive, but just pace yourself and you'll do OK

Looks great though!!!!

Definitely gets expensive... I've spent over 1500 on DIY audio so far...

The part size limitation is a pain in ass when building my mini3v2. I used a minimized version of adapter, the regular ADAPTEL is too big for my case....

Damn nice Cmoy, way better than my first attempt.

Caution! This stuff can get addictive.

These are DAC/Headamps designed by Gary Marsh:

The signal path is as follows:
CS8416 -> AD1896 -> PCM1792 -> OPA4134 I-V -> TPA6120 headphone output. The volume control is in the digital domain, as is the input sensing between coaxial and optical by way of an Atmel programmable controller.

I just finished up my third one. I gave one away, so I now have a matched pair left....one black, one silver. I added a power switch and power LED that weren't on the PCB since I only use them occasionally.

They sound very good. No audible noise, and very full sound. Some folks who attended the San Jose International Meet got to listen.

Ello

This is the front panel express finished article for my kumisa III from headwize.

The front screws will have to be glued in unless anyone has any ideas...the 3mm are to smalll and 4mm to large. And no i can't get 3.5mm.

Very nice stuff all! Love seeing those sexy, sexy amps and dac's.

I spent some time with sandpaper tonight, and pretty much prepped my Buschhorn's for veneering.

I finally have them playing in their final shape. Though the drivers aren't broken in yet they sound quite promising.

And here they are next to my earlier build, the Cyburg Sticks. As you can see, I hate the actual finishing stage, the Sticks are also still veneer-less.

And oh, excuse the huge mess.

Very nice digitalmind!

@ rjkdivin

What size are the button head screws you used?

Because I had used the original hammond screws the 3mm ones i used are no good and may have to glue them in

I bought some 4mm but they are 2 big.

seroxatmad, in the US it's more common to use imperial sized screws rather than metric, and 6-32 is the perfect size for the Hammonds. The closest metric is M3.5, but I reckon that's hard to find.

@amb

I have been trying to find some inserts to glue etc. into the hammond and then for the M3 screws to screw into. Any pointers would be appreciated then I can get onto my next projets, a Mini3 and B22.

Oh the joys of DIY audio...

seroxatmad, I don't think gluing inserts and using undersized screws would be a good way to secure the panel. I recommend finding M3.5 or 6-32 screws and tapping the Hammond case to match.

 

[vixr]

go with longer screws... the area that could be tapped runs the whole length of the case
