carlmart Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 There's already a thread here asking recommendations for DACs that accept DSD. But I'm looking for boards that anyone can buy and assemble its own DAC that will take any sources. Some you can get on eBay, others directly from vendors, like DIYHINK. By assembling things this way you can pick better power supplies, better connectors and sometimes upgrade the output. And you will probably end up paying a lot less than if you bought a commercial unit. Sometimes you may need some soldering, but probably not for parts. Just connectors or wires, If anyone has already done that, do tell us what you choose, why and if you are satisfied. Upgrading through this path is usually much less expensive than the usual shopping around. Link to comment
