  This is a high 
                              fidelity external USB Soundcard / USB Headphones 
                              project that can be built for your PC or Mac. It 
                              is based on the latest PCM2706 IC which functions 
                              as a high quality, crystal clear 16-BIT Stereo DAC. 
                              It is a single chip digital-to-analog converter 
                              that offers two D/A output stereo channels, digital 
                              S/PDIF output and requires very few external components. 
                              PCM2706 includes integrated USB 1.0 & USB 2.0 
                              compliant interface controller and it is conveniently 
                              powered directly from USB connection. PCM2706 is 
                              a USB plug-and-play device and does not require 
                              any driver installation under Windows XP and Mac 
                              OSX. 
 PCM2706 chip also provides seven functions that 
                              are controlled with tactile switches. It provides 
                              volume (up / down), Play, Stop, Previous Track & 
                              Next Track controls. These functions do not need 
                              any software or driver installation and work instantly 
                              after connecting PCM2706 to a computer's USB connector.
 
 This project includes double-sided 65 mm x 43 mm 
                              PCB layout in the PDF format which you may use to 
                              transfer to your printed circuit board. Once you 
                              will have PCB ready, soldering PCM2706 chip is not 
                              that difficult as it may seem.

| ESR Meter / Capacitance / Inductance / Transistor Tester Kit 
 ESR Meter kit is an amazing multimeter that measures ESR values, capacitance (100pF - 20,000uF), inductance, resistance (0.1 Ohm - 20 MOhm), tests many different types of transistors such as NPN, PNP, FETs, MOSFETs, Thyristors, SCRs, Triacs and many types of diodes. It also analyzes transistor's characteristics such as voltage and gain. It is an irreplaceable tool for troubleshooting and repairing electronic equipment by determining performance and health of electrolytic capacitors. Unlike other ESR Meters that only measure ESR value this one measures capacitor's ESR value as well as its capacitance all at the same time.
