Anyone complete one yet?

Not even us. It is in the final stages of protoyping. The DAC will come as an assembled unit to preclude anyone accidentally roasting the motherboard during assembly, as they will cost about $750 to replace. The standard DAC will run from a wall wart, and we will offer a rechargeable battery supply in kit form as an upgrade.

We hope to have a picture of the finished product and to begin our crowdfunding program in the next couple of weeks.

Today's update - we got the new aluminum rear panel prototype in yesterday. From that we will have a matching front acylic panel made early next week. I hope to have a pic of what the production model will look like some time next week.
