Anyone know if this is available to buy anywhere?

I have a prototype. I believe Nick is working on a new dac, not sure when it will be released. It will probably be sold through MCRU.

The build of the prototype is in progress as I type. The digital board is built and working, and 50% of the software is written. Its connected to the previous version analogue stage at the moment and sounding very nice if I say so myself. The analogue/power supply board is next, just need to populate the board and test. Then the input selector/display board. PCB ordered, will be here next week.Finally getting the metalwork done. My play tonight was to spend some time with the CAD program getting the design down.

The digital board is waiting on the USB input daughter board, I plan to use this at first (or forever if its as good as it should be).

At the moment the DAC I plan to use (AK3496) only goes to 192/24, but anything is possible. This is the prototype digital board.

Hi Nick and Ali,
Some weeks ago I took part in a GB for the Amanero board on RG forum. At the moment I'm waiting for Amanero to bring out the intended DAC for this item but knowing nowt about such things I'm frothing at the mouth for the next development so mine is still untouched in it's jiffy bag at the moment. I will be watching developments on Nick's project with great interest.
Cheers,
Dave.

Probably a bit early ATM but is there any idea of likely price band?

I've heard Ali's prototype, and its a cracker.
The final product will be even better I'm sure.

One to watch guys.
