as of now there are 2 acrylic cases available for the KATANA

1> player (RPI + KATANA stack)

2> player + isolator ( RPI + KATANA stack + Isolator v1.2)

 

we are also working on an alu case which will take some time.

 

Currently , we are not offering XLR connectors so we cant design a case without knowing what connectors everyone uses.

As for the relay att, we can surely design it... please contact me when ready to order and will work on it.

 

As you may have seen on the site, we have released a notice :

The Katana is a complex DAC that offers multiple filtering and powering options.The pursuit of the best sound quality is what drives our design team and the reason behind our recent decision to halt manufacturing of the late KATANA.
A new version, the 1.2, is in the works and will only have a few components changed resulting in a subtle, yet necessary SQ improvement.
Please note the following:
No orders will be accepted for the next 14 days.
Already received your KATANA? A new one will be sent to you once the K1.2 is released.
Already placed an order ? You will be soon contacted by our customer support team.
Thank you for your understanding.


technically ...
We improved the LPF on summing opamp. Small improvement in SQ
We improved filtering before analog stage . Medium improvement in SQ
We improved noise escaping DC/DC convertor. Not quantified yet
We connected earthing to board (with Nirvana PSU it will be automatic). Removal of some HF and better trebles . I would say small improvement but clearly audible
Adding some 220uF caps to analog stage. No improvement


KATANA 1.2 is being finalized and ready to ship by the end of the month.

 

will update soon.

Andre

 

Does the dac have galvanic isolation?

 

Also can you consider making an optional usb cable available that has a double shield?

There is a lot of talk on this site for those that DIY, that this really improves the SQ?
