My Volumio DAC project

Jago

your project is perfect.

you can show me more photos to see how I do it, and I was impressed by your preamp tube project
how do I do it?

regards

My DIY amp is based on this project:
diyaudioprojects.com/Solid/12AU7 … 7-Headamp/
I have modified tho original PCB for best placed big capacitors. Tilt Mosfet for add heatsinks and I change some component value (inner and outer decoupling capacitor).
Great sound, especially with >150 ohm headphones impedance.
I post you some picture… Bye

Just GORGEOUS !!!

Bravo for the conception woof work…

Bra-Vo !

Woooowwwww, incredible work!!!

I’ve been thinking about transforming an old Pioneer, but seeing your work … It’s great!!!

Wow wonderful job!

Have you some details about the DAC streamer? I mean about wiring, power supply, etc. Did you split the ps for the Raspy and the DAC board?
thanks

For completness, here a draft (and maybe wrong) of the connections that I’d like to have in my project…

Looks amazing. Do you have a router for the cut outs?

For the cuts I use a cheap router. You can see his photo in previous posts. I draw a template on paper (adding the offset dimension of the router tool). I glue it on a 5mm wooden sheet. After I cut out the inner part, use it as a template for the router.
It is more difficult to explain than done…

This is the draw of my wood template

This is wonderful work. Do you post all your builds on the internet someone such as web-page or another forum?

Best DIY I’ve ever seen!!! … BY FAR!!! Not only execution but also designwise … just aaaaaaaaaawsome!!!

Thanks so much for compliments…! :wink:
Unfortunately I don’t have a website where upload other images. :confused:

Hi Jago,

My congratulations. Your hi-fi has a wonderful design. Before reading your post, I have to admit, the only router I know was the one to connect to the internet. :smiley:

The round corner of all of your cases, the steel feet, the black and white color combination gives a really nice looking.

I can see that, even using bricolage tools in your garage, you seem to master quite well woodwork.
Not something that anybody can do. Some practice and experience is required.

I have few questions:
Did you create the round corner using the router?
For the CD player and pre-amp have you build them buying components and assembling them into your cases?

Regards,
Alberto

Ciao Andrea…
For round corner i use a homemade router table (toupie), on foto you can see the tool for round corner. My DIY toupie is very useful…

For the other question, I never bought kit or other. Make our circuits and PCB is a part of the fun… :smiley: .
I reuse sometime switching PSU for NO AUDIO SERVICE (only for led, remote receiver or relays). In my preamp (BOZ) you can see in right corner PSU for LED. RIAA preamp (left wall in photo), Relays board with encoder, Mosfet preamp are homemade.
In my CD Player all PCB are homemade: DAC, CD IDE interface, DAC supply and antibump…
Even remote are homemade, I have a lot o fun to build them…
That’s all :wink:

You seriously got some golden hands, mate! The simplicity it radiates is just breath taking! Kudos to you sir.

Did you order some printing for the input labels, both the front with the led behind the selector and the neatly print back plate with the cinch inputs?
Just love it!

You have a serious creative mind, those remotes… gorgeous, they’re the convertible variant of traditional remotes.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you Sayato,
maybe I forgot to tell you that I’m a graphic designer (for school books), it’s very easy to create the graphical interface on my Mac. The front part is a photolithographic film (for the old offset printing system) behind a darkgrey plexiglass, the back is printed on glossy photographic paper with an inkjet and coupled with a white plexiglass.
The simple things are the best!
Audio, electronics and woodworking are a pastime for me …
Bye Bye :wink:
