Just have to either botch up a bracket to hold the xmos card in position (i.e. remove the amanero, Unfortunately the steel bracket is too small the amanero is much thinner than the xmos). Have to make sure I don't lose the paper with the diagram on it as I would be fecked without it.

That silver you linked is not teflon coated I thought it best to have that wire covered?

My xmas present hopefully should arrive soon. Anne unknowingly has bought me a secondhand TotatDac usb cable thingy.
what if you mount the usb card vertically/on its side?

ive either got silk covered silver or enamel coated silver

Silk man meself, No want the usb slot to go were the original is. Case can be closed and plugging and unplugging cables is not fraught with danger!
plywood or a bit of flat metal stuck to the original bracket should work fine.

That would be great. No I want the usb cable connector sitting in the same spot as amanero. Sticking out the back in the hole cut in the case so plugging unplugging is as per now. I don't want to butcher the case (it is an LZ work of art would be a shame to disfigure it!)

At head-fi. They want to take i2s from a Singxer F1 usb to i2s/spdif converter and use a wm8804 to convert... Seems plausible
