PCM2902 is 3v and 2906 is 5v. Just been told that the audio chip in it doesn’t work as nicely as the specs for the 2702, but audio input is great as well.

How would this compare to say, a Griffin iMic?

They have dipped to 19.97 on clearance at my store and I get 10% off that to boot.
I was thinking of picking one up to fiddle around with.

So there is still a floating ad and I hope you take care of it.

http://amch.questionmarket.com/static/tribal-150×200-9l-eng-nul.gif

In any case, it will be nice to have a sub $50 dac that actually can produce good sound ;)

Should be pretty cheap ($3/board or so plus $30+ for parts). I’m going to build one as soon as I confirm that it will work with linux.
