In small quantities, a blank case can COST about $100.00. Then you need the machining for the display. The holes drilled for the outs and ins and then standoffs for the circuit board.
I would not suggest keeping the power supply inside the same case as the D/A circuitry. The magnetic fields generated by the transformer would do some rather nasty things. So that would mean two cases. Then add in in high quality connectors, power supply parts, film and foil coupling caps, etc. You would be looking at a SB2 selling for over $1000.00. Are you willing to pay that much? -- Wayne1 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
