During lockdown last year I built my first phono pre with @fredeb . It was my first foray into electronics and I cringe thinking how badly I built it. Nevertheless, it worked, and still does. Shortly after, Ari advertised a mini DAC for sale. I figured I don't have one and I could use some practice at soldering. It went much better than the phono!
Once done, I need 2xpower supplies and decided that it can go to the cupboard for a bit of rest. Recently, I decided to connect my Yamaha Bd player to the amp and listen to a couple of CDs. Then I remembered about the DAC and decided to finish the project. I got the power supplies, hooked them up and the smoke stayed inside
So, it ain't pretty by a long shot - but it works and it sounds good. I'll spend most of today in this chair, letting it burn in.
There are a ton of mods at DIY Audio - I will checkin here with the experts to get some advice on the which options would be the best. But first, I'll let it burn in properly. Then I'll figure out how to do the comparisons - I'm in no real hurry.
