[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 12424, member: 122"] Hehe, we should actually start a new thread for this. OK, this is actually three separate projects that'll be made from similar building blocks. Project 1: The project that this thread started off with. It is a USB interface for your PC with a built in HP amp. This is the one I want to get off the ground to see what the reaction of you forumites are like when doing a GB. Project 2: A standard DAC that'll take the SPDif from any [b]CD[/b] transport and will allow you to improve the preformance of such. This is what you are referring to above. This I will publish in the near future but for the sake of skinny's sanity I need to finish off the GB for Project 1 first. I kinda got a little side tracked... Project 3: This'll use the DAC board from Project 2, but just 3 of them (to have 6 channels). It'll use the STA310 to take the SPDif (actually AC3 to be correct) from any [b]DVD[/b] transport to use as your own high quality Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. This, apparently, is the holy grail for DIYers. It should be noted that, although this is not a pipe dream project (I have all the samples), it is definately an ambitious project and not recommended for the beginner [/QUOTE]
