    Got my board, very, very high quality board, everything looks spot on,
    Got it nearly finished, all voltages looks good, fair design, much much better that other projects (prometheus). You can feel and see that whoever designed it knew what they’ve doing, of course there are better ways to do things, but cost/quality ratio for this board is excellent,
    plenty of room for tweaking and improvements, all looks really nice, once I complete the project will put some final words here, so far, so good. Regards

    Hello, do you have the schematics DSD9018DA Rev 2 board? I got the board but the MCU circuit (STC 12LE5A60) and IS2/DSD circuits are not given in the supplied schematics pdf.

    That is right, there is no mcu in the schematics, the reason is the boards comes with it, being soldered already …
    Although I don’t think that it is essential to put the dac together …
    Mine is working for nearly 7 months now, sounds fantastic 🙂

    Hi guys, so is anybody have schematics of this board? I plan to buy it too (DSD9018DA Rev 2), from ebay, but solder byself.
    is it any problems with it?
    I got some simple schema but this is not a full specs.

  11. July 4, 2014 at 12:37

    what the power supply required for this board?

    • July 5, 2014 at 08:04

      I have the schematic, write to me – chickenek69@gmail.com
      No problem with soldering, i’m also soldering by myself. Power supply You can buy on ebay, or make it by yourself – 3 x 5Vdc each 500mA, +/- 12V or more, depending on your opamp etc.

    Pardon my ignorance but could I connect this up straight to a OTL amplifier using the XLR outputs?
