I don't personally have the Chromecast Audio, but I do have a Chromecast V2.0. I have used it very successfully with Google Music in the past, that is until I got hooked on better quality sound files. I now have a Plex server running that streams whatever I want to watch/listen to to my...

Thanks  ;D The speakers were built pretty much to these specifications: https://sites.google.com/site/undefinition/diy-sunflowers

I finally feel like I have a set of gear that is worth showing ... Linn Kairn (arrived yesterday) Linn Klout DAC iTx Sunflower [Redux]   ;D

Does anyone have a sense of the Peachtree?

What else did you consider when you bought it? Are you using it as a mobile device or just part of a bigger system?

Good evening! I'm hopefully going to find myself in the US in June and I'm thinking of upgrading to a better DAC. Spent the evening reading, and the guys at audiostream/stereophile seem to really like the Peachtree and iFi devices. There's USD100 price difference between the two, so not really...

Will do. Thanks Ian. I'll also get a set of decent drawings together and see what the local CNC guys can do for me.

Thank you very much for the detailed reply! I ordered the transistors on eBay from a "top seller". 2 pair of transistors for GBP9.21, free shipping ex-Hong Kong. The counterfeit risk is a pain in the ass. I'm holding thumbs! I wasn't as lucky as you with the transformer. A 300VA 25 0 25...

Hey DIY'ers, Like so many people in Cape Town I live in an apartment and space for DIY work is limited. Assembling electronics is something that I can easily do with the space I have available, but cabinet construction is a different story. Does anyone have a good contact to help me with...

I have P03a and P88 board in the mail, really looking forward to putting together my own integrated amp. I can see from the pics that you have the P03a and P33 board in there. What else do you have? Can you give us an idea of what you spent on all the components (ignoring board and case costs)?

PM Sent to Jes. Zola's stands do look pretty good. I'm busy communicating with him via email. Will have to wait and see which finishes he has available. Will also have to check the dimensions of that top plate. This is great though guys. Thanks so much for your help.

Great, thanks. I have sent him a PM.

Is Zola a dealer or just someone that has stands for sale?

Dropped them a mail to find out what they have available. Thank you. Anything else from anyone else?

Audiophiliacs, I am heading up to the big smoke (JHB) this weekend to visit the folks, but also to set up a stereo system for them with a pair of BX2's while I am there. I want to put them on stands, as one should, and I need to find a pair of those quickly and conveniently on Saturday morning...

Thanks for the offer! PM on it's way.

HiPhibian, I am in Cape Town, but I need to go up to JHB to visit the parents and take them an amp I bought for them. Will be in touch.

Yep, can confirm that for the D1. Imported it from Shanghai (but with a strange trans-shipment in Hong Kong that I think is in place to obscure the origin to avoid import duty), but it was fairly quick and painless.

IvMan, are you referring to the Dspeaker Anti-Mode 2 or the TubeMagic?

A DAC  that does the acoustic correction for you feels like money spent in the wrong place, unless you already have significant room treatment in place. Surely you can get more bang for buck by spending on room treatment and speakers rather than on the level of sophistication that allows you to...
