High-End Pre-Amp, Power-Amp, and DAC comming soon!

With in the next few months I will be releasing a series of amplifiers and DAC's that I have designed to convey the best quality that is reasonably attainable (no hand made graphite resistors or ridicules "audiophile" cables...).

The final layout is still coming together but the design is going to be semi modular. As in you buy the various components that you would like and they all connect to build what you desire.

Currently I have 3 items.

A power amplifier:
    -Stereo or Dual Mono with lm3876 or Mono with LM1875
    -Shortest reference resistor path possible
    -Wima and Nichicon caps
    -Small PCB for both minimal space needs and low manufacturing cost

A pre amplifier:
    -Stereo and Mono boards available using DIP8 chips or SOIC8
    -Stereo balanced version for XLR applications.
    -Wima and Nichicon caps
    -Super compact PCB

A DAC:
    -TI PCM1792A DAC
    -TI SRC4392 Sample Rate Converter and Digital Audio Reciever
    -Atmel avr for system setup and controll
    -16x2 or 20x4 LCD for system information
    -Rotary encoder and 2 buttons for control
    -External Clock input


All of this is still on the drawing board so if there is any input or requests the comments section is ready to go.
I am intending to make some of the designs open source as well.
