Before reading up, keep your eyes on the photo First!



Here are some leak prototype photos for the next High_performance@Low_cost mini DAC that will bring for everyone, and now
with coaxial input output! The performance would be AT LEAST tripled of PCM270X families. For PCM2704/ordance/GoVibe
users, don't be upset because PCM270X family are still a very great performer because it has very good BB sound signature.
It's better for every pre-owner to keep it than resell it if you like this hobby!

Before i bullshitting too much here. come on guys let's
guess what is the DAC used in this mini size dac?!
TIPs, a 14soic IC!!




p.s. It's still a naked one because i wan you to get your hand dirty into this hobby!

Yes, there will be only one reseller in the world, for this moment, only me.

guess it

Nope, i will not use blackgates on it. A blackgate caps
is more expensive than this dac, so it don't worth the
price. But every parts is standard one as you can see.
(Take note, this is not commercialize product, so the selling price will be verrrry )

Rate remain but the SNR quality output
*Guess the exact ic name

How to say if same price or even cheaper

p.s. i mentioned "if"

bukan, try again


Yeap, it's very small in size too! the empty space is previous
prototype version for boards checking with tries and different
attemps. There will be little bit different for final product. Cross
your finger now

come come jazzy, have some guess before the final product is
up for sale

usb and coaxial

This is the prototype version. The place where components filled will be
only the final components that will used. The final product will not have
those empty pads. And the PCB will be in black glossy finished instead of
blue like the picture! sexy huh?

No, it won't be pcm270X familes. It's only taking the
I2S output from pcm2706

lol.... where got forever

few of you already get the answer
Here it is! --> WOLFSON

haha, no problem. For both jazzy and santik, both of you will getting RM15 discount!

For the price, pls PM me, since it's not good to advertise here.

Stay tune for the final product's photo!

For the spdif, i have no idea yet

Your neighbor!:blush:

Yeap, pcm270X families is no way to catch up wm8501.

There might be RCA output at the final product, who know

Yeap. you and jazzy got RM15 discount for this babe!

Yes, who know there will be i2s pins reserved on the pcb there to
make it more flexible for DIYer? I am just giving rumors

schem is lotsa different

who know this sound better

The cables will be included for all of the dac. The size
is roughly 7x6cm. I haven't measure it yet.



a TT seem very interesting

both of you are so scary

pcm2706 both i2s out from pcm2706/7 are same.

oops, my apologize in this, i was given a wrong informations on that, however it's optical
output. Thanks for corrected me from getting misunderstanding by others. My bad for
not double check what i typed at very first

16 or 24 is another thing, i am sure at this price you
pay, you hardly to get anything sound better!

Besides using a 24bits controller, Hardware up'sampling is possible after pcm2707/6 by using either AD1896/ SRC4192 or etc. It's
unlike the software oversampling which is totally useless, hardware upsampling make sense but i don't intend to do so, because it's
cost is not cheap. I thinking to make it in the near future with PCM1792/AD1955 with src4192. But the cost will be triply or more
compare with current this one.

ya, i got your points d Thanks jazzy for pointing up. If i jack up the price with a lot of end
stuff on it, as a consumer position, i would rather spend on commercial stuff as well So i rather back
on my line and produce a budget DAC that sound good and everyone can afford

I don't get your question
To avoid any action take from moderator, please
directly pm me for price inquiry instead of inquiry here.

Hi, if anyone interested to test this dac, please come test the prototype with me at cyberia. only for today because i am "quite" free right now.

Here is the layout of the final version I have tested the prototype for a week, what i can say is, it really out of my expectation, wm8501 sound really well that's audiophiles will like it!
