I'm impressed by all of these DIY style DACs that keep performing way beyond their price point! Thanks for reviewing them Amir! I do have to say though, the thing that keeps me from picking one up is that there seems to never be a case you can also get with it. I've played with arduinos and such, so I'm not unfamiliar to bare boards but the idea of using a bare board DAC, even in an acrylic case, for serious use seems odd to me. The fit and finish of a product definitely goes a long way to make it "feel" professional and add to the overall appeal of the product. I do get that such creature comforts come with a cost, but it's the only thing in my mind keeping these bare board DACs from demolishing a large portion of the competition in the market. Though at the same time if you have the equipment, time, and skills I'm sure you can make a very nice case to call your own for it.
