    News from www.engadget.com - ASROCK Purity motherboards for sound nuts!

    Glad to see they've actually paid some attention to detail here, rather than just marketing BS. Reminds me of the AOpen tube sound motherboard from a few years back:

    Squeezebox Linear power supply (must have upgrade)

    Thank you good sir! But I would rather not hassle you unnecessarily - let me see if I can administer some first aid myself. If I fail dismally then I'll bring 'em around :)

    Squeezebox Linear power supply (must have upgrade)

    So after the PO sat on my delivery notification for a week, I finally have my PSUs. I was looking forward to building them, but I see Heinrich beat me to it ;). Same problem as the others though - both units had snapped transformer legs :ticked:. I think I'm going to send a bunch of these...

    Olive ONE Music Player

    It claims to be a proper 32-bit DAC. The SNR value is correct, but you're right in that it's awfully low. Data sheet: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/slas759a/slas759a.pdf I think one of the reasons Olive chose it for the miniDSP features. The One's architecture is open - so who knows, maybe someone...

    Did anyone spot the cool McIntosh gear in DSTV's Elementary?

    Mr Holmes uses a McIntosh MT10 turntable as well, on the shelf above the other gear  :). Enormous acrylic platter with blue-green under-lighting.

    Olson-Nagaoka Kongo double mouth horn for Fostex fe126en

    From what I've read (ad nauseum) on diyaudio.com these will need some serious thrashing before they're burned in. If I recall correctly, one chap hated the sound initially, so he put them in his garden shed and left them playing for a week. Nothing but praise thereafter :)

    So, you are looking for a Byleveldt DAC? You've come to the right place...

    Hehe not intentionally... but it has happened by mistake a couple of times ;). My DAC-before-last had both sets of outputs, but I had to fiddle with settings to switch between them.

    Since no one has posted for a while, I'm going keep this thread a-stirring ;) Will it be able to drive both the balanced and single-ended outputs concurrently? In my case, this is a big plus (headphone rig as well as speaker rig)

    OH........MY............GAWD !!!!

    I spoke to the local Teac distributors - they're uncertain whether they'll have the MOQ necessary to order these, but apparently there will be some discussion on the matter. Anyone interested in being kept up to date can PM me :).

    Another question I forgot to ask - how likely are we to see a BNC SPDIF connector? Is it feasible to have both that and RCA?
