Hi all,

I have a built DDDac to sell, all working perfectly. I had simply assembled them on a piece of board, and ran them from some paralleled SLA batteries. This one comes with a USB module and the SPDIF receiver so you can accept both inputs and chose between them at a flick of a switch. There are extra caps in the PS of the DAC towers, blackgates and an elna at the USB module. It really is a lovely sounding dac, but my system has changed and it has sat now for too long unused.

Lots of info at http://www.dddac.de. I have full schematics etc, but really, you probably won't need them as the units are built. Still might be handy if you want to do some modding.

What is included:

USB>I2S module
SPDIF receiver
2 x DAC boards
2 x DAC tower tooling
tent clock

total cost to buy new: €363

I'm looking for €220 ovno. I ran this with some sealed lead acid batteries - I can throw in one if you'd like. Otherwise a 12-13.8V source is needed. Maplin do one IIRC about 25-30 quid.

I have it set up with some GE film caps on the outputs, and a simple connector for the PS (I can include easily the mating connector so you can try it with batteries if you like.


Now the disclaimer: This unit is working AOK, but isn't in a case, nor is it like a finished product. It doesn't look beautiful (!). Also, you would need to organise a trickle charger for the batteries (about 25 I think). I can help get you set up and running, even organise the power supply for you if you want. The guy who sells the DDDac is very helpful too. Of course, home audition is welcome.

Some pics included....
