My Audio-GD R2R-11 DAC/Preamp/Headamp is finaly here !
It has optical and coax inputs, as well as USB through an Amanero XMOS board. The DAC section uses a 24 bits resistor ladder, corrected by a 450MHz Xilinx CPLD. The amplification stage and its power supply circuitry uses full discrete components.
This is a temporary setup, as my SFF geek lair (read 2m² closet) isn't ready yet. It needs a 350/400h of burn-in though

I LOVE VEGA COOLERS! *drools*
We need someone to strap a Pro Duo cooler to a RX 580 for kicks...
Arguably, AMD coolers were beautiful since the Fury X/Fury Nano... I liked the design on those.
The XFX RX Vega design is hideous, though, IMO.
Aww c'mon Bro! This thing is so shiny!

To each their own of course.
@GuilleAcoustic
That top photo of your DAC makes we want one and I have never considered it before today. Nice camera work!

I was talking about the ugly weird x cooler:
Gimmie that shiney carbon-fibery thingie!
Also, IMO, that backplate is sick. The front? Not so much.
Ew. It looks like some engineer decided "We need to reduce the price, so we need to chop stuff off of the sides to save material costs.Gimmie that shiney carbon-fibery thingie!
Also, IMO, that backplate is sick. The front? Not so much.
Even ancient GPU coolers look better than this thing. At least it has a semi-SFF PCB and a backplate though.
Spotted this on our local auction site, had to snap it up.

Got a new beer glass. This is a horn shaped glass made especially to drink a beer called "La corne du bois des pendus" (The horn from the wood of hanged men)

preordered these a super long time ago, promptly forgot about them, ordered a set of Max Key Portland key caps that I super like then these eventually showed up. I'll hang onto them for if / when I have another keyboard or get bored of my current key caps. Their Tai-Hao Midnight Sun key caps, for the price their super nice.
More importantly for what I'm doing right now is this package that arrived today. I already own one of these that I'm using as a 5GHz wifi AP. RouterOS has a central AP management system they call CAPsMAN so this one will be provisioned in the 2.4GHz band. In the end it worked out cheaper to just pick up a 2nd AP than to replace everything thats 2.4GHz only w/ something thats 5GHz compatible & it provides for hardware thats just visiting. I could have probably just picked up a replacement AP that has dual radios but thats far less fun and far less interesting than learning to use CAPsMAN.

Another monitor, because I needed one and this also needed to have touchscreen because it's going to be used without mouse and keyboard:
Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny-in-One 22 Gen 3. It's a 22" Full HD IPS screen with multi-touch, crappy speakers, mediocre webcam and a very thin frame (about 5mm of panel black bars inside edge frame). It was the cheapest touchscreen 22" that wasn't crappy TN. Also, it's a dock for tiny PCs:
