Finally, I finish assembling my AD1865 PCB which converts standard I2S to AD1865 LSBJ format. This idea comes from pavouk, which provides the schematic then later I follow to design the PCB. Credit to him for this project.

So below is the appearance from the top side. The AD1865 main chip, followed by some 74HC converter, some DIY inductors and some ceramic bypass capacitors.

Still remember my “silly” project, this one and this one? I think I will make it even more “sillier” than before. Watch out.

First, I’m thinking of testing my new Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil on my Gainclone. This top of the line capacitor from Mundorf sounds promising. Before, I was thinking to try a pair of VCap. But since VCap only available in lower voltage (250-300VDC for value over 1uF), so I need to think multiple times to spend large amount of money for that capacitor. Well, with this 1200VDC Mundorf, I can use them on my tube amplifier. While for 250VDC VCap, my usage will be very limited. So shall we welcome the Silver/Gold/Oil?
