^ x2. I thought the idea was to differentiate transports and if they have a unique sound signature or not??? Also, on the subject, an earlier post claimed different volume levels from switching transports. I don't see how a different transport or digital input could possibly effect the output level of the DAC, if the same DAC were used for both? Maybe I'm missing something...

Anyone keeping an eye on this one? Might be of some interest... Teddy Pardo TeddyDac DAC review - nightmusic - Digital Drive Teddy Pardo home of TeddyCap TeddyXPS power supply for Naim Audio replaces HiCap and XPS

Happy Birthday to both of you!

Looks good Marc! Me, I'm cooking homemade pizza (well, other than the sauce). California cracker-style crust.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jacob! Hope the leg is getting better!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Aardvark!

OK. My son is looking for some IEMs at under $100... less than $50 would be a bonus. Must have good bass, but I am trying to steer him away from boomy bass crap. From what he has read so far, he seems to be interested in the Ety ER-6is, or the HF-5s. I also want him to look at Shures if he can find something decent in his price range. Also the Headdirect ER-0s might not be too bad, but also might not suit his preferences. He keeps reading crap on the 'net that is all over the map on recommendations. I have really no experience with IEMs, so any recommendations? I know this is way below the $$ threshold most of you look at so...

^ I'll try to update as I go along. Marc PM'd me and said he could answer most of these, and would get back to me. As far as I know, none of the group buy boards have been built, other than it appeared that Jacob built a quad of his. This is probably too low of voltage to attract much attention these days

I have the Eagle files for the thru-hole version but not for the custom SMD version. The files I have are close but probably not the final (don't have the 1x3 pin header for SJ1 for example). Any recommendations for the feedback setting? I re-read the thread and am leaning towards the standard feedback loop (back to the input FETs), but wanted any experience/advice. Does anything need to change parts wise between the two? I thought I would build this with a stock gain of 11 unless others experience would deviate from this. I assume to change the gain I would increase R56 rather than decreasing R55? I think I will socket R56... Also, if the alternate feedback loop is used, how is gain set? Does SJ2 need to be jumpered in this case? Kevin mentions decreasing the 5K resistors to 2K, but I'm uncertain which 5K resistors (R5-R10; R19; R20; R59). I would guess R19-20 is what he is referring to.

Happy Birthday!

Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Birthday!

nm...

The Bulgin's that are like that at Mouser are rated 24V, 50mA...

Those look decent. I like FrozenCPUs appropriation in their spec description though Makes them sound like they are Bulgin...

Decided to do other things. They really don't need any more ways to waste time that they should be using other things Thanks for the suggestions though... maybe I'll use them for myself

Head-Fi.org - Headphone forums and reviews for audiophiles And I'd read (or re-read) your welcome PM...

You seem far too coherent to be totally drunk, at least until the last 2 sentences

x2, looks great. You've been a busy boy

Happy Birthday!

If that's the golf course, tell the greenskeeper he needs to mow it a bit more closely... looks rather nappy. You can tell I'm pissed because it's like 10 fucking degrees here Nice pics BTW, and glad someone is getting out and having fun.

Happy Birthday!
