I Got caught up with the making of all the stuff again and forgot to blog about it so here is what I have done for thing of the day for the past few days.<\/p>\n

Day 11
\nBeyerdynamic T1 damping kit. This was designed to smooth out the treble peak in the beyer T1s and give them a more balanced sound without detracting from their amazing sound quality

Day 12
\nThis is a bit of art Joe did. It is a triptych made from plastecine on board

Day 13
\nDay 13 of thing of the day.
\n Cheapo asynchronous 384K\/32bit XMOS DAC with USB Audio 2.0 support for less than \u00a330 to build.<\/p>\n

I managed to pickup a developer board for the new XMOS DAC this only works on USB audio 2.0 which is not currently naively supported in windows so it was a bit of a bugger to get working – I just knocked up a basic case from 5mm acrylic and it sounds amazing – much more detailed than our old Arcam DAC.
\n It has 384K\/32bit support so ready for some HD audio goodness.<\/p>\n

I am planning to convert it to balanced and maybe add the option of running it from a battery to get rid of any ripple from the mains
