I've had a bunch of the goodies from Ian's latest and greatest Group Buy on hand for a bit over a week now, with various combinations making music since this last Monday. NONE of it is broken in yet and I have a LOT of combinations and variations to try still... so no impressions to post YET.
BUT I'm starting this thread as a way to gather impressions and info about his GB RPi goodies... the FiFoPi, various DACs and I/V / output stages along with the ESS DAC controller, the LiFePO4 supply, the updated IsolatorPi, and a bunch of supporting accessories.
Anyone got any sonic impressions or tips they'd like to share.
Me, I'd like to get through a few more of the permutations I'm planning to try before starting to share how they work. PLUS I still have bits and pieces arriving... LL1544a's AND LKS discrete opamps both delivered today. A few more orders are yet outstanding. AND a few more to get in.
I'll update at some point what I've got and what I'm trying.
In the meantime, post away!

P.S. Anyone got any good alternative clocks worth trying? I have 22/24 & 45/49 Crysteks AND various NDK's... 22/24 & 45/49 SDAs, selected 90/98's from Acko, and a TON of standard SDs. Anyone got a good source for high-grade Connor-Winfield's or other possible alternatives?
