Happy Birthday!

Check the Do It Yourself thread. There aren't any white papers or build guides available. There are gerbers for the boards (check the Stax thread for the location for board files and for schematics), and you should be able to find BOMs, etc. though it might take quite a bit of reading and effort. The board search works well for that (searching a thread).

Happy Birthday Brent!

Happy belated Rob! Sounds like you had a nice day!

Happy Birthday!

So sorry for your loss Steve. As others have said, mother-sons bonding is very real. It was nice that you were able to speak with her.

Really enjoying Tom Hardy in this.

Happy Birthday!!

So sorry Todd. RIP Sam.

Probably not going to do anything. I'm pretty sure that I prefer PCM to DSD. I still really like the Res. Audio Opus 21 I bought, and still have my Rotel RCD-991 (PCM63) and RCD-855 (TDA1541A) if needed. I use the 991 as a transport for the Opus as the shitty DVD drives they used back in the 2000's given most of the good mechs had been disco'd by that time leave a lot to be desired. I can't tell any difference in sound between the internal drive on the Opus vs. the Rotel -> S/PDIF -> Opus. I did build one of Pedja Rogic's AYA DAC something or other back in the day. @morphsci has that or at least did.

Binged that over the weekend. Very well done (I thought) and scary as this kind of shit could actually occur/be going on. A bit disturbing!

I saw some of your traffic over on diya regarding this. What/whose board of scheme did you wind up going with for this?

Happy Birthday Doug! I hope you have a great one!

I'm so sorry Al, and my deepest condolences to you and your family. Losing a brother is tough. Rest in peace Tom. Fuck Cancer!

Very nice! Is that aluminum? I wish I had a CNC. What machine do you have?

I've been watching that as well Steve, and concur; pretty good and enjoyable!

Happy Birthday Al! I hope you have a really great one!

Happy Birthday Nate!

I am so sorry to see this Todd. RIP Karen, and my condolences to you and your family.

Happy Birthday Dan!

Happy Birthday Colin!

Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy Birthday Jeff! Hope all is well and that you are having a great day!

It might, but seems a little high. That would give you ~380V raw DC, which seems like a lot to burn off for a 300Vdc output. I know you need some overhead for the GR PSUs, but that seems a bit excessive, and you would need to make sure you have adequate heatsinking for the pass devices. I'd wait until someone with more experience with the HV supplies weighs in however.

Happy Birthday Adam!
