Any one has DAC version with integrated pi for sale?

[SzymonZy]

I wanted to order at pcbway https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/SIDKick_pico_2040DAC_SID_6581_8580_replacement_for_C64_C128_a31d896d.html but for assembled unit it is over $40 so ... maybe when prices were lower someone built some want to sell one or two?

I'd recommend the newer version: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/SIDKick_pico_2350DAC_SID_6581_8580_replacement_eb753787.html

It should be way cheaper (once per month you can order with a reduced assembly fee, I think it was $29 or so)

Is there a project of PCB itself? I will solder myself as it does not make sense with current prices. This is weird as after review of order pcb price get doubled, and assembly also increase to enormous value.

Sometimes seemingly unimportant options make orders more expensive (e.g. the default solder mask color is "matte black" which is incredibly expensive, while "black" has no surcharge). I ordered 5 without DAC for <$50, 5 with DAC for ~$53. Of course you can also order the PCBs without assembly.

PCBWay calculate flash for $13 each while I can buy them for around $1. So this is becoming more expensive then buying used sid. Components for single piece are $32 + manual soldering $3 each + cost of PCB + shipment. I calculate components part way less but .... negotiations led to increase of component price instead of reduction. I think I will get PCB and assemble myself.
Only valid flash for them is W25Q16RVXHJQ TR which is really cheap but not in stock now normally it is $0.50

You can send me the quoted BOM if you want me to have a look (you can find my mail address in the source code).

JLCPCB: unfortunately they do not offer shared projects (and other manufacturers are even more expensive).

[SzymonZy]

sent a BOM calculated by PCBWay. Anyway I think I will make an order, together with gal pla PCB's, and joyport esd protection PCB's.

[frntc]

I had a look, it seems that all parts became a bit more expensive (maybe due to the global trade situation?), for the pin header and the RGB LED they charge ridiculously high costs -- if you can/want to do this yourself you can save quite a few Euros.

[SzymonZy]

TBH those leds and pinheaders are just on my desk. We will see if they will agree to remove those from BOM.

Components price reduced to $29.12 so I orered it finally. Estimated shipment is on 16/06/26. Quite long ;-)

I don't recomend ordering at pcbway - my package was returned back by Chinese customs. https://t.17track.net/en#nums=LZ428774085CN
Within JLPCB never had such issues. I wonder what will happend now - over $70 is maybe not much but it is also not a price of matches.

I would assume that PCBWay will be helping you with that. Have you contact customer support?

(btw. I had similar issues with different other companies from CN, that happens).

[SzymonZy]

Yep, I did Yesterday. No response till now. pt., 19 cze 2026 o 08:59 frntc ***@***.***> napisał(a):
