DIY - Best DAC/Streamer

Hi fellows,

some may know the fantastic, highend DIY components from Ian Canada, have a look here: GitHub - iancanada/DocumentDownload: Download documents of Ian's products

He has very impressive DAC/Streamer builds. Not really complicated to build. So if someone interested, have a look at the fantastic videos from Gabster:

Look at his channel, very cool DIY stuff he presents…

One of my next projects: building the best dac/streamer combi ever :wink:

I saw this a few months back, that battery power supply has strong geek appeal.

This looks like a pretty cool project. It’s essentially a Lampizator clone based on a Cirrus Logic chip (my personal favorite of the DS chips).

I really enjoyed this video. I like his takes in general.

I’m seriously considering this as a project. Or something similar at least. There are a couple of DIY Cirrus Logic R2R boards around and I rather like the idea of adding a tube amp stage to one.

Yeah, I like him as a reviewer. He’s very thorough and seems very honest. @Hazi59 shared one of his reviews with me and I’ve been watching ever since.

I think this would be a great project (I’d also love to hear about it directly from someone that builds one) :grin:

Keep us updated if you do build one!

.> not entirely. I’m considering a couple. Also I need to finish a dummy load for headphone outputs so I can play with the mini oscilloscope.
