I have a humming Elpac and ordered a new-new one, not a used one so this project is a little behind.  Wayne is being patient with me as well as I have him lined up for a few pieces I need.  Promising so far.

I have to have projects for my hands, otherwise I get stircrazy.  So over the 4th weekend I whipped up a box to house a SB, an Elpac PS, and a DAC.

Wayne is going to make me a custom length digital cable and I am awaiting my new Elpac and I might send that to Wayne for supercharging as well.

Once I get it wrung out I will have Jim veneer it for me.

I'll snap some photos tomorrow and show the AVA dac installed inside the box.  This thing rocks now.  I found a modified Elpac on Audiogon and with Wayne's digital cable the whole combo just rocks.  Really sweet. :thumb:

Some photos of the unit with the AVA Omega III Topp DAC mounted inside:


Bolder digital cable above.

Elpac (I have a copper hood for it to shield noise)


The conversion board and outputs:


The power supply board mounted vertically with some overkill silver plated copper wire for input power:


Transformer up front because it fit best here and the backside of the LED connected to the power inlet:
