ruZZ.il, me, and another friend had a little meeting a couple of weeks ago. We compared the y1 to DAC Ah (with mods) and to a balanced Opus. All of them worked with a B22 (balanced) on K701 (balanced).
The result were quite surprising as the y1 was unbelievably similar to the Opus, there were a few minor differences, but I dont think there was a definitive winner between the two.
In fact we were so pleasantly surprised that for such a low sum of money and in such a small case you get sch a high sound quality, that me and a few other friend have decided to build one for each of us, so now we are just waiting for the parts to arrive and than we'll have 4 more y1
I can't wait to see what Ti will be able to do once he gets going with that high-end DAC he's been talking about. If the y1 at this price and size is such a great DAC, than I guess we're all in for a treat
I meant to add that I cannot imagine how much time and effort it took MisterX and Ti to design this little DAC, and no doubt much more for the future projects, not to mention making all the pcb's and part's made available to us all, with mucho help and guidance on these forums.
Just finished my y1 DAC and have encountered a problem.
When going through the initial test guide on amb's site, it fails at the 3.3v to ground with VCC and Vbus jumpered with a usb lead plugged into a computer.
