New DAC
Sorry about crap pic. Just got these boards. Look pretty good, smaller than I expected. AK4490 latest and hottest thing.
No I didn't choose the placemat. More later.

Left center: XMOS USB interface and DAC board piggyback.
Below that, tiny analog balanced to single-ended/driver. Not the high end version but I plan to replace with a transformer and tube output stage later.
Top right: power supply board x 2
Right lower: Display/control board.
Looking forward to see this finished
Finished? How about we settle for working :-P

Latest! Hottest!! Better?
Ever notice how everything in audio (except maybe a CD player) is either bigger or smaller than expected? Especially when it's PSE-144 ... and that goes both ways. Showed it to two people in the last 2 days, one said bigger, one said smaller.
Are you going to put it in a nice box John?
Someone thought the PSE would be bigger than it is? heh.
Nice box... eventually. After I come up with the perfect headphone amp to go with it (tubes of course). And assuming I like it.
Still haven't done anything tho. Too many other headaches atm. Bleah. Will you be at Terry's this year?
I'm going with the default setting of "yes" to Bathurst at the moment although I haven't officially sorted out what is happening around that time, what Merrilyn is doing etc.
