Hello XRK,
As I am more than happy with PCA, I would like to try this amplifier also.
If allowed, I would like to build my own PCB based on your schematic - of course I will share gerber here.
Another question is, as 2SA1837 is discontinued, do you think 2SA1859 or 2SA1725 can be used in place of 2SA1837?

Hi @xrk971,
First of all, thanks for sharing your project/research here!
Last week I finished building my first set of custom IEMs /w Bellsing 10013 BA drivers which got me designing a tiny Zobel network PCB for them, which got me researching DIY hp amps. From there I found out about the AMB's Mini3 portable hp amp which lead me to diyAudio Forum and onto PCA project and finally here - Hakuin..
I was wandering have there been any updates to this project because I would like to try making my own amp PCB layout from your schematic for personal/learning curve/building stuff mood.
That being said, I don't know how to read LTSpice schematic but only THIS kind of schematic /w BOM (will you share the latest version).
I'm new to this game but I'm going in head first
I don't know what's proprietary and what's not, what schematics do i have permission to use - if any, etc.
Once again, thank you and have a nice day!
Mladen

The schematic you link is the latest. It has a solid state relay to prevent turn on thump. A complication only needed for a for a slick seamless commercial product. You can skip that and just wait 2 seconds before plugging your headphones in.
The power supply, smart charger, and battery level meter still need to be updated but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
If you really just want to experience the the sound in an easy to build format, make the Yarra daughterboard version of it. Pcb’s are available in my store and you can wire it directly to a 24v PSU and headphone output jacks.

If one wire these boards to a 24V supply - would it be possible to implement a volume pot? Where, how and what value?If you really just want to experience the the sound in an easy to build format, make the Yarra daughterboard version of it.

Hi X,
I had nothing better to do over the weekend so and I tried following your Hakuin v3.7 schematic and came up with the following.
I think I missed some caps - not sure which ones
It has been fun tho!

Update:
Added C5(A/B) 100nF and C6(A/B) 470uF. Not sure about R9s in parallel though (I think I've seen some schematic where you said that R8s and R9s go in fours).
Disclaimer:
For anyone thinking of following this schematic - DON'T!!! - I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING, this is me learning and asking X for guidance and suggestions.
