Pictures of what you doing to the DAC would be great Hi John Iv'e been fidling around with the PSU for my DAC on and off for a few weeks now. I have finaly finished with a design that I'm happy with. I have just lashed it together and all is working well. It is not a hugely neat build, in hindsight I should have used crimp connectors to the tabs of the PSU caps but I wanted a direct solder joint. Here are a few pics of the inside of my DAC. I'm just about to build a buffer board for it so I can use Cinemag output transformers and there are a fair few mods I want to carry out in the next couple of weeks.

The unregulated PSU has made the bigest difference to the sound of the DDDAC over all the other mods I have carried out. I was quite surprised. It delivered so much more from an already good DAC.

That is impressive James as the DDAC is pretty good

James, Your Dac would make a great thread in itself. I would be very interested to know what all the components are and your thinking behind choosing them. I would love to try building something like this in time.

Hi Tony
It's really easy to do, as long as you can bake a cake and follow a recipe

The DDAC is a stunning bit of kit Does the Kit have other input options apart from USB James

Can you get it to work via digital inputs if I decide to go down this road I like to avoid USB as I will get a very special server built that is not at it best via USB
