Pity, all that’s missing is a volume control so you can go direct to amp, as it has 2.5v output.

Some good reading on it here posted by project86

The guy who is claiming the design is his really missed an opportunity. If he had product ready to go right now, he could have sold me one of those if he could have had it to me next week.

I believe you are correct w my ol dac being delta sigma and as I don’t believe the files I import are pcm or dsd(not actually sure) I think I’ll pass on this r2r for now, tempting as it is. Appreciate your input. Cheers, Mike
