Welcome and thanks for the amp design PA! It is a real shame that many are afraid of the SMD soldering, because apart from that the QRV-08 is a terrific deal for the expenses involved to build one.

Finally found a dac that's worthy to complement the Swede.

You must really love that AK4396.

  What is there not to love? The stello siggy sounds lovely and if that DAC achieves the thd stated, then... Well, it doesn't get much transparent than that. Basically what Nwavguy wanted, but with good sound.

The finish is really good, however for the price I was expecting better construction in terms of threaded holes. None of the holes are threaded so I need to use self-tapping screws and rather dinky threaded inserts.

All in all it does look good!

Looks like a cool challenging SMD project. Don't mind the SMD stuff at all. Actually prefer it to through hole. Have The Wire SE-SE as well. Love it. Too bad I'm about to embark on the EHHA Rev A first. Then have way too many ES9023 associated DAC boards/parts to make up another DAC creation. Too many projects! --- no can't stop now! ahoy

Finally boxed up the thing.









Obviously I can't be bothered to do lettering.

Nice work! I'm with you - can rarely get myself to do letting, etching, etc. It's only been the last year or so since I've begun to find enjoyment in casework at all.

Very nice, I do not enjoy doing casework at all, seems like an absolute PITA to me.
