You know, with the amount of desire for this kit displayed here, I would suggest the following name:

"Lust".

Really looking for this for a few years.

Also, this is a great thread; I have learned a lot of stuff here, which makes me quite eager for this!

This is all very interesting... I was tempted by the DDDAC 1794 with 4 decks but now I'm waiting for this DAC big time!

Nice work guys!

I have a Sonos Connect and I love the interface, but the sound is a little on the flat side.  I am currently using it with an Emotiva DAC.  I have read that the Sonos can be improved with modifications or an external reclocker, the Sonos suffers from poor jitter.  Do you think the BH DAC will help with the Sonos or will modification or an external reclocker still be needed.

Thanks
Debra

What interface are you using out of the Sonos? The BH DAC (whatever the name) has an exceptionally good S/PDIF input circuit that is very good at ignoring jitter coming over the wire (or fiber). So you will probably not need an external reclocker.

Would they be pre-production, or final production boards?

Adding my hat to this ring.  Was planning on literally putting an ODAC into a wooden box to go with the rig ;).  This would be better...

I can guarantee this will be in a different league to an ODAC, its a fantastic bit of kit for $100 but i have long since retired mine.

I'm ready for the DAC as well.  How complicated a build do you estimate it to be Doc?

I hope they ordered enough circuit boards to handle the inrush of orders that this thread indicates. 

I looked, I hadn't said it in this thread but did elsewhere, I'm in since I got the call back to work.  I am expecting a top of the line price, would be really surprised if it were lower.

Grainger, I've already had a custom base made for it! Hopefully they don't change the chassis plate dimensions ;)

The sound you just heard is me laughing at your post.

It sounds like they are pretty well set on things now so I think you are safe.
