Hummingbird Verita Dual Mono AK 4495S XMOS

<< < (2/2)

OJneg:
Looks snazzy. Details on output stage? I'm guessing OPA16xx?

MisterRogers:
After each 4495S we're using the LME49724 for balanced out, and the LME49710 for SE out. When we stared our design cycle, the intent was to use discrete output. As we evolved / tuned the board, we were pretty amazed at how well these sounded. Very natural, dynamic & organic.


I'll be bringing a prototype to our upcoming mini-meet in the Boulder area; everyone there will get some extended listening.

MisterRogers:
For those of you considering a build of this DAC, I also have a couple of custom made SUMR transformers that are specifically designed for this DAC. Just add a case, and you'll have one of the best DS DAC's I've ever heard.

For casing - that's often a personal preference. I am going to reach out to my case builder in Montana to see what his price would be for a small number of cases. He built the case my prototype's in, and did a stellar job. Casing can be expensive though, and he's a woodworker; not everyone's cup of tea.
