DAC ONE, a simple but effective digital to analog converter from "AudioSkeggia"

DAC ONE is an SPDIF digital to analog converter from my homeland, Italy. A simple kit, based on the TDA8416 + TDA4334, a couple of chips already well known in the DIY community. It's well suitable for revamping cheap cd's or dvd players, but for me is like a base platform, a sort of "evaluation kit" really useful as an introduction study to digital to analog audio conversion argument. 

Circuit board is in naked copper, with no solder resist or simbology. Mine arrived with smd chip already soldered on it.

Power supply is +5Vdc.

I've tested different components solution with it and finally get interesting results, a well balanced sound very close to my reference cd player, an old Pioneer PD-S06.
