Hi.

I have been trying to find a fairly small but good quaility DAC with S/PDIF input and preferably an integrated PSU but I couldn't find one so when I discovered the Opus DAC I got one ordered straight away.

It was quite a challenge fitting everything into the case that I had chosen and amazingly I cannot detect any mains noise at all even though the Transformer is practically touching the PCB's (I manufactured a screen using two sheets of aluminium foil sandwiched between two sheets of laser printer acetate).

I was a bit disappointed by my 'screen printing' I used modellers decal sheets printed with an inkjet printer and then sprayed with lacquer. Unfortunately when I lacquered it again after placing the decals it shrank and gave a 'web' effect. Also even though I used white decals they are practically transparent and one of my layout lines shows through. These were the 'wet' kind. I might use the dry ones next time....

I am very pleased with the performance of the Opus though and I hope you don't mind me using your logo and creating an Opus logo???

Thanks

Phil

I don't know how I missed this post!

Very nice work! I like it!

I am totally cool with the artwork. :)

Probably the smallest implementation I have seen yet!

Cheers!
