I started with his AD1865, since it is a well known and respected DAC chip. This discrete DAC is decidedly better, with lower noise and distortion, and rock solid precise imaging and a bit wider soundstage. As recommended, I have it powered completely from the RPi. It has a built in I2S isolator. Sorting and soldering 96 itty bitty SMD resistor critters and programming the FPGA. Dang!
