n/m dont think it will work

The dynalo is extremely stable at unity gain without capacitor compensation

I'd say it's very likely I could bring Vicki's BHSE to the meet

2 strikes, 1 for posting about a DAC in the full-size Headphone forum, 2 for being a MOT

i'm guessing that was made as an extrusion because they only have 1 internal hole to keep cost down. by far the greatest cost would be the die, about $1-1.5k

wikipedia: The term "bowl" originated from the Rose Bowl Stadium, site of the first post-season college football games. The Rose Bowl stadium takes its name and bowl-shaped design from the Yale Bowl, the prototype of many football stadiums in the United States.

What is the cost to do it wire EDM? Looks perfect for a small extrusion which would then be cut to length. Or maybe laser cut out of a giant sheet if they do 1/4" thick aluminum

I have the circuit boards ready, and the raw enclosures were finished today -- they just have to be sent off to be made pretty, so probably 4-6 more weeks

Is it entirely USB powered? Lack of power supply which would be necessary for a SPDIF input is a major $$ saver

or you could get a USB DAC that is optically isolated and is self-powered

I think they're just a good idea for isolating the headphone amp from any amps/receivers that are left permanently connected to the pre-out. Some of them will short their inputs when another input is selected or the power is turned off.

BHSE pic update...almost there... laser engraving then it gets sent to KG for some kind of blessing ceremony and then its ready

beat ray samuels in counterstrike

moar pics later tonight if im still awake

i would use larger than 10 ohms, something like 50 or 100

Audiophile hard drives? you sir are a genius

Spring Break?

The case temperature reaches about 40C

Someone looking for a $2800 headphone, which doesn't exist, will buy it

^ I think he traded an amp for that

Here is a KG BHSE Pic Update - waiting on the laser engraving - finished heatsink sample (same finish as top/bottom/back) in back of some pics

I think Wadia is very capable of designing a headphone amp Headphone outs on the DACs like Benchmark, Lavry, never get any credibility on Head-Fi though. Maybe these companies care more about Head-Fi than they like to say they do
