What is it?

This is digital audio to analog converter. It's built around the PCM1793 DAC, which can convert 24 bit stereo PCM audio at up to 192 kHz. This chip has excellent S:N and THD specifications, and the output buffer / LPF is built around the OPA2143 op amp, which also has excellent specifications. It's powered by a USB-C power input jack and requires 200 mA at 5 volts. It has a pair of RCA output jacks and a TOSLINK (F05) optical audio input jack. It comes as a completely assembled unit in an extruded aluminum case and optionally with a suitable USB-C power supply (90-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, North American plug).

You can buy either a version with a DIR9001 decoder, for a maximum sample rate of 96 kHz or a WM8804 decoder, for a maximum sample rate of 192 kHz.

Why did you make it?

I needed one of these, so I bought one, but decided to try my hand at designing a really good one, and this is the result.

What makes it special?

It's open hardware, designed and hand-built in the USA, and has industry-leading performance components for the best possible quality for the price.

TOSLINK is a trademark of Toshiba.
