I'm listening to my Dorati DAC - measured and worked spot on straight off the bench.
It's a nice little DAC Richard and performs very agreeably. I agree wiith your comment in post #1, it is a step up from the Kubelik, though that's not to denigrate the performance of it as it is also a very good performer - I think the Dorati just seems to be a little more transparent and authoritative.
Thanks for another great little project/kit.

Picked up my kit from the post office this morning, and just got it finished! So far everything seems to have gone smooth, a couple voltages seemed to change after adding the caps, but its playing music and I cant hear any hum so I'll call that a win for now!!
So here are my voltages, all taken while playing music. Using a 7022 i2s board. All voltages were in spec before adding the caps and inductors. That said, it sounds great on my little computer/soldering room system, but I haven't tried it in the living room system yet. I did not populate R22, R60, and I wasnt sure if it mattered which way the inductors went so I put them both with the magnet wire parts facing inwards.
