I want to use the counterpoint discrete stage but... I think I heard this needs to be redesigned/modified for the new Buff32s. Is that true?

The design is being updated, but not specifically for the ES9018, more of a general improvement.

More Buffalos for pre-order this weekend, btw.

Holy smokes you built those up quick! Hope you get some downtime for compensation for your missed "vacation"

Well, they aren't built yet, but all the pieces are ready. That's why they won't ship until end of June/beginning of July. the real kicker is all the power supply kits and such that need to be built as well.

Vacation was just going to be packing up the house for moving, which I still have to do. Busy busy busy.

On the data sheet for the chip is says 3.3V +/- 5% which comes out to be 3.465 on the high end so according to the specs it should be ok.

http://www.eflatjump.se/ES9008.pdf Its on page 14 under recommended operating conditions.

Btw mind sending me a pm and letting me know how much it improves the sound after you have it all hooked up?

I was trying to find the spec sheet for it, but had no luck. Thanks for the link! I'll hook it up and see how much it drops under load, along with having a quick listen with it

Have there been a lot of people express interest in purchasing the pcb only Brian?
It would be a hoot to build this DAC.
